Rattray Line pill box 875m ENE of Old Rattray is a Second World War defensive structure located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The pill box forms part of the Rattray Line, a coastal defence system constructed during the early 1940s as part of Britain's preparations against potential German invasion. Built from concrete, the structure exemplifies the standardised military architecture employed across Scotland's vulnerable coastline during wartime. The site remains a significant material record of Scotland's Home Defence measures and reflects the strategic importance accorded to the Aberdeenshire coast during the Second World War.
