A MILITARY exercise is held on the outskirts of North Berwick next month.
The exercise, run by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), takes place between September 3 and 21 at Gin Head, the former Second World War radar site at Tantallon, to the east of the town.
The exercise has been described as “medium-sized” and takes place at four locations across Scotland – Inchkeith Island and Leuchars in Fife, and Glen Cova in Aberdeenshire are the other three involved.
It will be a “land-based” exercise but is also expected to involve low-flying helicopters.
The Courier has contacted the MoD for more information but did not get a response before going to press.
