(Unofficial, but
very informative website, well laid out and with numerous photos.
Includes detailed walk-through photos showing various shots taken inside
aircraft on display)
This is not intended to be a fully comprehensive list of every
aircraft accident in Scotland (c. 4,000 in number). Rather,
the aircraft listed here are representative examples of the types
that crashed throughout Scotland. Regions included areArgyll, Ayrshire,
Borders,
Dumfries & Galloway,
Inverclyde, Highland, Lothian,
Orkney, Renfrewshire, Stirling, and the Western Isles. More from these and other
regions of Scotland will follow at regular intervals.

Search Air Crash Sites
Scotland
Custom Search
Search for aircraft by type (e.g.,
Vickers Wellington), by aircraft part (e.g., Merlin
engine), by location (e.g., Ayrshire, Beinn Nuis,
etc.).
In some cases, searches can also be made using crew member's
names, etc.
If you could help in this project, we
would be very grateful for any photos or information of aircraft
crash sites—civil or military—located in Scotland. This applies also
to information or photos regarding air accident monuments or
memorials within Scotland (including Western Isles, Orkney &
Shetland).
This will assist us in creating a
resource covering a much wider area of Scotland than is available at
present. In addition, it will provide background information for
those wishing to visit these locations or to learn more about these
aircraft and their passengers and/or crew.
