EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures a unique piece of history etched into the sands of Gullane, East Lothian, Scotland. Taken in 1998 by the Royal Commission on The Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, it showcases an array of Anti-Tank Blocks scattered across Gullane Sands. These concrete structures stand as silent sentinels against the backdrop of rolling dunes and crashing waves. Remnants from World War II, these anti-tank blocks were strategically placed along the coast to defend against potential enemy invasions. Their imposing presence serves as a poignant reminder of a tumultuous past that shaped this coastal region. The intricate patterns formed by these blocks create an intriguing visual spectacle when viewed from above. Each block bears witness to countless stories and lives impacted by war, evoking feelings of both awe and reflection. As time passes, nature has begun to reclaim its territory; sand slowly envelops these once formidable barriers. Gazing upon this photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to contemplate the resilience and sacrifice displayed during those dark days. It is a testament to human ingenuity in times of adversity while simultaneously reminding us never to forget our shared history. As we admire this remarkable image captured from above, let it serve as a powerful symbol not only for what was but also for what should never be again – a world torn apart by conflict.
