Operation Starfish WWII decoy bunker on Bute, overlooking the Kyles of Bute and the Burnt Islands.
Starfish set up a network of sites to attract enemy bombers away from cities and industrial areas by using patterns of lights and controlled fires to simulate night-time bombing raids. There were more than 200 Starfish sites by the end of the war.
