Scotland's Secret Bunker
A Cold War nuclear bunker hidden beneath a farmhouse, with two underground levels of preserved command centre and communications equipment, full of period atmosphere.
Built in the 1950s and disguised as an ordinary farmhouse, the bunker is entered through a tunnel about 150 metres long. Visitors can tour the operations room, broadcast room, dormitories and nuclear-alert equipment, which reveal the emergency command system of the Scottish government during the Cold War. It is about 15 km from St Andrews and requires a car. The interior stays at about 13°C, so bring a jacket.
Opening hours
About March–October, 10:00–17:00
