Bridge of Dye WWII Pillboxes (1)
-
Pillbox: EDoB ID: S0003013
Of the large number of pillboxes at bridges in Aberdeenshire, these two are among the more interesting. The first is an almost circular pillbox of local granite blocks, one of two situated to the E of the original line of the B974 road, with the line of the new road now running between them. Both structures appear to be part of a line designed to block the passes across the Mounth and the hills to the west, to halt any southern-moving invasion force arriving on the beaches of Aberdeenshire. The pillbox has been carefully disguised to look like the granite wall surrounding the garden of the farmhouse. A second pillbox on the opposite side of the road can be seen in the middle distance.

The old and new bridges at Bridge of Dye
The old bridge (on the left) had considerable character. Vehicles had to negotiate it carefully and slowly. Traffic now crosses the Water of Dye at much higher speeds on the new bridge which has less character.
