U 1003

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records U 1003 as Submarine (second World War)-(1945). 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 1003 was a German U-boat, part of the Type VIIC submarines, sunk in the final months of World War II. It was likely scuttled or sunk by Allied forces in 1945, with no survivors recorded; its precise significance lies in being a wartime relic of Germany's naval presence in the North Sea.
