The Secret Bunker, Scotland, 2013

27 April,2013. 3pm
After our lunch stop at St Andrew's we travelled towards Troywood to visit Scotland's Secret Underground Nuclear Command Bunker which was Scotland's beat kept secret for 40 years! Hidden beneath a farmhouse, a tunnel leads to the Secret Bunker 100 ft underground which was to have been a retreat if there had been a nuclear attack during the Cold War.
This was a Long Tunnel 

It was decommissioned in 1993 and is now a Cold War Museum housing examples of communications systems, films. maps and planning rooms, accommodation and displays of how "things"  would have operated in the event of a nuclear attack. We found it fascinating wandering around the complex.
