The remains have been uncovered of Aberdeen's last surviving Second World War prisoner of war camp.

Remnants of the Tullos Hill Camp, thought to have been lost forever, have emerged from the soil in which they have been buried since the post war period.

The camp was uncovered during work to reclaim landfill sites on the outskirts of the city.

Historians had thought the camp was lost under a mountain of rubbish.

Archaeologist Judith Stones said: “It’s particularly fascinating because we have a lot of additional information.

For example we have old photographs taken by one of the prisoners here, so we know externally what the huts looked like and from his accounts and others we know what they were like inside.

That just gives a much fuller picture. It was nice this morning to walk along the paths that were once walked along by young German soldiers so many years ago.”

The latest archaeological find comes after Bronze Age burial cairns, prehistoric hut circles and an anti-aircraft battery were discovered.
