I wonder if anyone from the stranraer area knows anything about "Hush-Hush" near Portpatrick.  It is described as a radar station but no record of one around there.

The building is visible on the 1946 aerial image.

There are several mentions of it being converted to a holiday home but it does not seem to have happened.

It is about the right size for something like a radar site and has something on the roof.

Tempted to have a trip down as a few other radio sites down there that I would like to have a look at.  The DF site at Stranraer has gone, only visible on the 1946 image, but possibly one remaining building, might be an octagonal DF base at another and also the CSOS(?) site.

The only "Hush Hush" I have come across is on Great Cumbrae and it  was a listening post.  See Eeiry Port page on the wiki.
