Culbin Forest anti-landing obstacle is a Second World War coastal defence installation located north-west and west of Culbin Forest in Moray, Scotland. The obstacle forms part of the extensive anti-invasion defences constructed along the Scottish coast between 1940 and 1944 in anticipation of a German amphibious assault. The structure comprises concrete and metal elements designed to impede or obstruct potential landing craft approaching the shore, representing the practical application of coastal defence strategy during the critical period of the war. Such obstacles remain significant archaeological evidence of Britain's home defence preparations during the middle years of the Second World War.
