Tank Traps
A surprising amount of Scotland’s land is dedicated to golf—more per capita than almost anywhere else in the world. At Gullane, the links stretch along the coast, their fairways and greens a striking example of how leisure has reshaped the landscape. Just inland, a line of concrete tank traps slices through the rough—reminders of wartime anxiety, when defence against invasion seemed an urgent necessity. From above, the patterns of leisure and conflict intersect, revealing a landscape where history and recreation are layered one upon the other.
