Scotland's Secret Cold War Bunker, by St Andrews

Scotland's Secret Bunker is Scotland's best kept secret, hidden for over 40 years beneath an innocent looking farm house. A tunnel leads to 24,000sq.ft. of secret offices and accommodation the size of 2 football pitches.  'Had there been a Nuclear War, this is where Scotland would have been Governed from'.

Had there been a Nuclear War, this is where Scotland would have been Governed. Learn about the twilight world of the Government Cold War.
How they would have survived, and you wouldn't !!!…

See the hermetically sealed 3 ton blast proof doors in an environment which reveals to us one of the darkest periods of Scotland's history and indeed the worlds! Your chance to visit and experience the feeling of being underground and encased in 3 metres of concrete.

The bunker would have housed 300 personnel sleeping in six dormitories. Learn about the 'Hot Beds' where staff would sleep for six hours and then swap their bunks with another staff member for the next six. Along with military personnel there would have been a fully equipped and staffed BBC sound studio. They would have issued emergency broadcasts with all other radio and TV channels 'off air'.

All this time personnel would never see daylight, they couldn't even shower as uncontaminated water was too precious a commodity and remember they may have had to stay underground for over three months. See the original canteen or mess hall, today our restaurant, for those serving below ground. The kitchens were very well equipped to provide high quality catering - an essential morale-booster for those working in such an artificial situation.
