If you're in Kilcreggan with a couple of hours to kill and it's dry, you can walk down the Fort Road till the end, then double back on yourself.
Not sure how accessible or visible they'll be once all the building has been completed...

The Portkil Battery can be found at the end of Fort Road, off Shore Road, southeast of Kilcreggan on the Rosneath peninsula, Argyll and Bute.
Much of the battery remains, and the area is now residential, with houses having been built on some parts of the site, incorporating some parts of the original battery structure into their build. Some of the magazines have also been restored, and are used as holiday accommodation.
The battery originally dates from 1900,
The battery is described as having had two 6-inch MkVII/II guns (numbered 2406 and 2384) and two 4.7-inch quick firing VB/V guns installed during 1904. The 6-inch guns were removed in October 1916 and the 4.7-inch guns were removed in 1928.
