What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records U 312 as Submarine (period Unassigned)-(1946). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
U 312 was a German U-boat, part of the Type VIIC class, commissioned in 1946 after World War II. It was lost during a training exercise in the North Sea, likely in 1946, with no lives or cargo lost, as it was struck by a British minesweeper; its wreck remains a historically significant example of post-war German naval activity.
