A coastal site in Carnoustie proposed to the SPNR as an 'area of primeval country' and a locality for scarce plants. Much of the area selected by the SPNR is now within Barry Buddon military training area, owned by the Ministry of Defence. Most of the training area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and an EU Special Area of Conservation (SAC), as well as a Special Protection Area (SPA) for birds under the European Birds Directive.
