Rattray Line, pill box 640m SE of Rattray House is a Second World War concrete defensive structure located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The pill box forms part of the wider Rattray Line anti-tank defence system, which was constructed during the early 1940s as part of Britain's prepared defences against potential German invasion. The structure is a standard reinforced concrete pill box of the type widely deployed across Scotland during this period, designed to provide protected firing positions for small arms and anti-tank weapons. This example represents the archaeological remains of the extensive defensive infrastructure built across eastern Scotland in response to the threat posed by Nazi Germany.
