Clochan Patrol

The OB was situated in a slate Quarry at Tarrymount. It had a heavily wooded area to the east for escape and was very close to the railway and road between Buckie and Keith.

It is private land today.

We were contacted by local, Kev Broadley who told us; "Not sure if it was during or after the second world war my Grandad Edward Smith and his brothers found this ammo dump up the woods while playing in the Enzie (Ingy as we locals call it) Braes when they were bairns. They said they found a cave like structure with guns, machineguns, ammo, blankets and food and for a several weeks they were bringing back tinned food and blankets back to my Great gran while they played Army with the weapons they found. My Uncle Jocky said it's a wonder they didn't have any sense to put the bullets into the guns they were using! It all came to a head when the local Bobby heard some rumours about kids running about the woods with guns and was cycling up the Brae only to be met with a live grenade rolling down towards himself where he dove for cover! They got into a lot of trouble and the Army came round and blew up the cave after getting all the kit back!"
