NARS Site 44 - The Mormond Hill site was in northeast Scotland, not far from the fishing town of Fraserburgh.  By the early '80s, Mormond Hill was home to a large collection of tropospheric scatter antennas, owned by the USAF, the British Army, and British Telecom.   The site itself was shared with a small USAF detachment, who operated a ground-to-air radio link.  All personnel lived in or near the towns of Fraserburgh and Peterhead.  From the mid-70s, the presence of a few US personnel went virtually unnoticed, due to the large contingent of American oil workers in the area.
