Hidden WW2 bunker resurfaces on Scots beach after storm causes shifting sand

Alan, who is also the chairman of the local residents' association, is no stranger to historical finds, having previously found a shipwreck while walking his dog last November, and an old mine on the same beach in January.
He added: "I contacted Aberdeen Maritime Museum about the shipwreck but three months later it was swallowed up by the sands again.
"Other people said they had seen the shipwreck, it seems to appear and disappear with the sands.
"In January I found an old mine that came out of the ground. The MOD came out to make sure it was
