Message from Meandering Wild

Golta Z Battery in Flotta, Orkney, is a Second World War site featuring a grid of 64 rocket launchers and 128 magazines, along with decoy light anti-aircraft emplacements. The command post, now partially collapsed, was a key part of the defense network protecting the Lyness naval base. This well-preserved battery is a rare find and adds to the rich military history of Orkney, making it an important piece of the UK's wartime heritage.
