Remote Radar Head Buchan or RRH Buchan is an air defence radar station operated by the Royal Air Force. It is located at Stirling Hill, 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) south of Peterhead on the Aberdeenshire coast of northeast Scotland.
The unit is based at the operations site of the former RAF Buchan which was downgraded from an RAF station to a remote radar head (RRH) in September 2004.
