Scotland’s Secret Bunker

My son was desprate to visit this place, looking online and seeing it on tv it looked worth the visit, how wrong was i !!!
Unfriendly staff, terrible food and prices, stinks and is really poorly put together, this place could be so much better if they just tried a bit harder, even my son who is mad on anything to do with war was dissapointed with it, i would not recommend the place to anyone, even if it was free it would be a dissapointment.

This can be an interesting place to visit depending on what interests you. Kids tend to get very bored very quickly and they really should change the name because it is not much of a secret when it is advertised all over the place.
It is a nuclear bunker that was meant to be kept a secret so that members of parliament in scotland or other V.I.P‘s could be rushed there in the event of a nuclear war but it is now open to the public so we can all see what they would have been doing as we were all dropping down dead.
Not somehwere to visit more than once but worth a look at least once.

This is a once top-​secret underground base which would once have been the seat of government in Scotland in the event of a nuclear war. An innocent-​looking farm building hides a 3 ton blast door which leads to a tunnel down to the military base, with accommodation for 300 people.
You can visit the dormitories where military personnel would have stayed, and the rooms where top government officials would have lived while everyone else perished.
There’s the nuclear ops room and RAF control room, switchboard and radio room, and a BBC sound studio for emergency broadcasts.
The place is huge, on two subterranean levels and a visit is fascinating, if a little chilling, and not just because you’re underground. The place is an absorbing reminder of the cold war and the fear of nuclear attack.
The nuclear ops room is very atmospheric in particular, with a background hum of radio chatter and commands being issued adding to the effect.
They’ve turned the original mess canteen into a café, selling reasonably priced, if not too adventurous food. You can also buy souvenirs of your visit in the farmhouse, before having a look round several military vehicles located around the building. Obviously a late addition to the site as that would have been a bit of a giveaway!
Thoroughly recommend a visit to bring a bit of cold war history to life.
