Island on the Firth of Forth Scotland.

Inchmickery is a small island in the Firth of Forth in Scotland. It is about two miles north of Edinburgh.
Inchmickery is tiny, only 100 metres by 200 metres. During both World War I and World War II the island was used as a gun emplacement. The concrete buildings make the island look (from a distance) like a battleship. Although the island is now uninhabited much of this concrete superstructure remains largely intact.

Very nice, thx Riada, I'll Google it. I had no idea it existed and I must have flown over it many times en route to Aberdeen.
