Inchindown oil tanks, Underground oil depot in Invergordon, Scotland
The Inchindown facility contains six massive underground tanks, with five measuring 237 meters long, 9 meters wide, and 13.5 meters high.
The Royal Navy commissioned these underground storage tanks between 1938 and 1941 to protect fuel supplies during World War II operations.
The facility received Category A listed building status in 2014, marking its importance in Scottish industrial and military heritage.
Access to the underground tanks requires advance arrangements through specialized tour operators who maintain safety protocols for visitors.
