Recording the North Cairn Radar Station
March 21, 2023
The results of the RAF North Cairn survey are now here!
"During the Second World War, the network of Chain Home radar stations was a crucial part of air defences for the UK, with the station at North Cairn aiding in the protection of Belfast and Glasgow. At the time, the station was top secret and many of those working there did not know the full extent of operations."

The involvement of volunteers in the fieldwork at RAF North Cairn was enabled by the Historic Environment Scotland Support Fund.
