WELCOME TO THE SCOTLAND’S SECRET BUNKER
–
Visiting the Secret Bunker is a fascinating, sobering, and ever so slightly chilling experience. Those old enough to have lived through some part of the cold war come face to face, perhaps for the first time, with the reality of the very different ending that episode in our history might have reached.
The visitor today gets to see a mixture of superbly recreated interiors from different periods of its life. All within the structure as last rebuilt around 1970 to allow it to serve as a seat of government for a post-apocalypse Scotland.
The Secret Bunker is certainly large enough to accommodate a great deal to keep the visitor enthralled. Imagine a large two storey office block coated in a layer of concrete three metres thick.
Dig a hole in the ground 40 metres deep, put a layer of gravel in the bottom of the hole as a “shock absorber” and place the office block on top of it. Put in a 150m tunnel to give access to the bunker from what is, despite appearances, a specially strengthened entrance building, and finish off with an emergency exit tunnel at the other end. It is an exeption day out.
