Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre
In 1983 the Montrose Air Station Heritage Trust was formed, today known as the Ian McIntosh Memorial Trust. In 1992 the trust purchased the Watch Office and ground, and created the Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre. They have since added more buildings and collections. Several historic buildings and hangars are still located on site, and the perimeter taxi track is still largely intact.

—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“The great God absolute! The centre and circumference of all democracy! His omnipresence, our divine equality!”
