U 296

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records U 296 as Submarine (period Unassigned)-(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 296 was a German U-boat, part of the Type VIIC class, active during World War II. It was lost in 1945, likely due to enemy action or operational accident, though specific details of its sinking remain unclear; no significant cargo or major loss of life is recorded, and its broader historical significance is limited.
