U 218

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records U 218 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 218 was a German U-boat, part of the Type VII fleet submarines, active during World War II. It was lost in 1946, likely as a result of post-war decommissioning or training exercises, with no recorded loss of life or cargo; its significance lies in being a surviving example of wartime German submarine technology in Scottish waters.
