GPSS Forfar (Clocksbriggs) was a small fuel depot located within a field to the northeast of Forfar, near Clocksbriggs, and was part of the Government Pipeline and Storage System (GPSS).

The depot comprised four semi-buried fuel storage tanks within a fenced enclosure containing a bund to the south, and a number of small building to the southeast, which are assumed to have housed the control gear.

The depot was referred to within a Freedom of Information reply obtained in 2009, which referred to it as Forfar GPSS (Clockbriggs), and identified it as a freehold property belonging to the MoD.

Although the depot is no longer listed as part of the GPSS, the tank farm was still visible in aerial images dating from 2010.
