Second World War 1939-1945, island, First World War 1914-1918, abandoned / shut down, fortification, interesting place
Inchmickery is tiny, only 100 metres by 200 metres.
This island was modified in WW I and WW II so that in siloette it looks like a warship.
Hard to see it from an aerial shot, but the similarity from waterlevel is striking.
