Ub 85

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ub 85 as Submarine (first World War)-(1918). 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.

Ub 85 was a German U-boat (submarine) that served during World War I. It was lost in 1918, likely as a result of combat or mine strike in Scottish waters; no lives or cargo were lost, as it was a military vessel with no commercial cargo. Its significance lies in being a wartime relic, contributing to the understanding of U-boat activity in the North Sea during the war.
