Calling all Scopies (etc) - Scotland's Secret Nuclear Bunker
Scotland's Secret Bunker
I went on Sunday for a look, just on a whim. I thought it was going to be a small bunker for cold war civil defence.
I went through the turnstile and was taken back ten years. The bunker is the same structure as Buchan/Boulmer/Neatishead etc and I walked down the tunnel thinking that I could easily be carrying a headset and non-spill coffee mug!
Most of it is Cold War stuff, a good exhibition overall, and they even have a half-dozen consoles on the lower level...the ones that predated the universal consoles.
Well worth a visit - it is not cheap but the facility is private, no public funding.

Went there last year and have to agree fascinating stuff, shame on me for not going earlier as I live so close. I remember when I was based at Leuchars there was always rumours about the bunker but never really took them seriously!!!!!
