I was using a 35mm prime for this (and had my film camera.. the 36 film got choked inside so not sure if any of those shots came out, will find out when I develop them at work).
Shanwell Upper Air Station is RAF Leuchars former Weather Station where it would have measured air temp, wind speed, moisture, etc. I am not sure of it's age, a couple of UrbExers who were going around with their film/DSLR's told TheSurveyor and I that they believe it dates from the Cold War. They have been going there for years and the local kids like this place as well...
We were actually looking for anti-tank blocks and pillboxes and stumbled across this :)
