Geocache Description:


Chain Home was the title given to the radar defence established in Britain in the years and days that led to the Battle of Britain in 1940.
Chain Home provided Fighter Command with its early warning system so that fighter pilots could get airborne as early as was possible to combat incoming Luftwaffe aircraft.
Situated on the S side of the A9 trunk road at Crakaig and Lothbeg Point. The main site covers the whole of Crakaig Links on the S side of the railway. The accommodation camp and remote reserve are situated at Crackaig farmsteading.

The remains of the buildings can be seen from the cache site

Thanks to BaD for bringing this to my attention.I have seen these buildings many times while travelling on the A9 but thought no more of them as just wartime structures.
