What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records U 776 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 776 was a German U-boat, part of the Type VIIC class, active during the Second World War. It was lost in 1945, likely due to enemy action or operational causes, though specific details of its sinking remain unclear; no significant cargo or major loss of life is recorded, and its broader strategic significance is not well documented.
