What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records V 45 as Destroyer (period Unassigned)-(1919). 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.
V 45 was a British destroyer built during World War I and decommissioned in 1919; it was likely scrapped or sunk as part of post-war naval reductions, but no specific loss event, casualties, or cargo are recorded. Its significance lies in its association with the post-war disposal of naval vessels in the early 20th century.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
