A World War II '''Anti-Aircraft Battery''' was sited near '''Wemyss Bay''', on the Clyde cost. Part of the [[!Clyde AA Defences]].
The same site also hosted a post war '''Anti-Aircraft Battery''', alternatively named as '''Wemyss Plantation''' and ''Cd58a''.
Development of the area and its surroundings means there are no surviving remains to be found, or any evidence that the battery was ever located there.
