Rattray Line, pill box 585m SE of Rattray House is a Second World War defensive structure located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The pillbox forms part of the Rattray Line, a section of Scotland's extensive coastal defence system constructed during the early 1940s in anticipation of potential German invasion. Built from concrete and positioned to provide defensive coverage of the surrounding terrain, the structure exemplifies the standardised design of anti-tank and infantry defence positions deployed along the Scottish coast. This modest but strategically significant monument survives as evidence of Britain's wartime preparation and the militarisation of the landscape during the Second World War.
