What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records U 298 as Submarine (second World War)-(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 298 was a German U-boat that sank off the Scottish coast in 1946. It was lost without any known casualties, likely as a result of post-war decommissioning or scuttling, and its wreck remains a significant example of wartime German naval presence in Scottish waters.
