RNAS Merganser is a British Royal Navy Air Force Station, built at Rattary Head, Crimond NK070580 and opened on 3rd October 1944, during World War II

The site of the base is about a mile from the village itself and remains in Ministry of Defence hands as a wireless station and is home to masts of some 900 feet and many other small ones. It was used during the cold war to track enemy soviet submarines. The base is still manned by a small staff.

There is an airfield with three runways which are now in some state of disrepair and during the war the 714 Naval Air Squadron was based there.

The remnants of a further World War II camp that housed some base personnel can still be seen around the aerodrome and west of the airfield, over the A90, on Mosstown Road there is a further personnel camp.
