Pillbox, 150m WNW of The Neuk is a concrete defensive structure dating from the Second World War period. The site is located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and represents part of the extensive network of pillboxes constructed across Britain during 1940 and 1941 as part of anti-invasion preparations following the fall of France. Such structures typically contained loopholes or gun emplacements designed to provide defensive cover for static positions along potential invasion routes. The pillbox survives as a physical reminder of Scotland's role in home defence during the critical early years of the Second World War.
