Cowie Line, pillbox and earthworks 945m SW of Stonehouse is a Second World War defensive installation located in Kincardineshire, Scotland. The site comprises a concrete pillbox and associated earthwork fortifications that form part of the wider defensive network constructed during the early 1940s to counter the threat of German invasion. The pillbox represents standard military engineering of the period, designed to provide protected firing positions for infantry defence of the local area. These remains survive as material evidence of Scotland's civilian and military preparedness during the middle years of the Second World War.
