Cowie Line, pillboxes and anti-tank blocks northeast of Whitehill is a Second World War defensive installation located in Kincardineshire, Scotland. The site comprises concrete pillboxes and anti-tank obstacles positioned as part of the Cowie Line, a local defence scheme constructed during the early 1940s to counter the threat of German invasion. Such fortifications were typical of the emergency defences established across eastern Scotland during the middle years of the war. The remains represent the material expression of civilian and military preparation during Britain's period of maximum vulnerability to invasion.
