Things to do at Scotland’s Nuclear Bunker review
Scotland’s Nuclear Bunker is located near St Andrews, Fife. It is an underground Cold War bunker museum that houses a BBC studio switchboard room and two cinemas.
You can discover the twilight world of the Government Cold War and find what it beholds. There is a top-secret Command Centre, dormitories, a broadcasting studio and a CND room. At the museum you can learn how the elite survived the Cold War.
The centre is 100 feet underground and the entrance is hidden in an unsuspecting farmhouse. It was built in 1953 in response to the threat of nuclear war with the USSR. The 24,000 square feet command centre can now be explored today as it is no longer in use.
