Friend and I were talking at weekend and asked if I knew
What this was near where I live on Google maps

There looks to be 4 similar possibly concrete structures, no idea what they are. Anyone want to guess

Thank you mystery solved . Looks like they have been doing some work around them toos2kjock said:
I assumed this was somewhere in the South of England, but surprised to see anti-aircraft batteries in that part of Scotland, and even more so that they were built in 1950.
What were they protecting, and from who, at that time?
The nuclear submarine base at Faslane isn’t far to the west from there What were they protecting, and from who, at that time?

They have. As above, see Rightmove. s2kjock said:

Protecting us from the red menace. There were others through the central belt; it was a major centre of population and manufacturing just like the Midlands etc. and deemed worth protecting, although jet aircraft and eventually ICBMs rendered even radar guided AA guns obsolete. The defence budget was slashed after the war, only to be massively increased when the Korean war started so delayed projects like this got built even though sober reflection might have caused them to be cancelled as hopelessly out of date. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. At that time the subs were based at Rothesay, the move to Faslane wasn't until the end of the 50s and the USN didn't arrive in Holy Loch until the 60s.What were they protecting, and from who, at that time?

I wonder why western Scotland was chosen for a nuclear naval base
when other naval bases are in SE England.
Maybe nuclear is the clue.
