Does anyone know of any Anderson shelters from world war 2 in Caithness?

They might have rotted away,being built of corrugated steel sheeting covered with soil and turf.
Try Caithness field club ?
Good hunting.:)

Some of the hides used in other areas were indeed Anderson shelters but buried much deeper than normal domestic ones.

I think me Granny had one in her back garden, but she ain't in Caithness and they took it out anyway.

Is it Anderson shelters in particular your looking for?
Or air raid shelters in general, there are a couple up by the airport and some others scattered about but they aren't Anderson's.
