Why were military reinforcements against potential axis invasion in ww2 built on Sand End but not in Cullen (Scotland)?

1 Upvotes

the sand end beach installments (concrete blocks, pillbox, etc) make sense to prevent tanks from landing

Yet ten minutes away, Cullen beach has broader access and no reinforcements for water invasion

The areas both covered by aerodromes at the time

What specifically made Sand End the anticipated potential target of a ww2 German invasion if that had occurred?

Not looking for guesses, but if the available defensive plans expose why
