By some unexpected quirk of the lens, this single camera shot shows both the interior of one Nissen Hut and the exterior of its neighbour, neatly illustrating their inside and outside construction. One can imagine how Spartan this accommodation must have been for the British troops, in the cold and damp Scottish winters. No doubt, there was even less concern for the comfort of German prisoners-of-war held here during WW2. Interestingly, the huts were originally designed for a lifespan of 15 years: they are still standing, albeit in some disrepair, after 70.
