Scotland's Secret Bunker, Cold War nuclear bunker in St Andrews, Scotland.

The underground nuclear command center spans 24,000 square feet across two levels, reaching 100 feet below a regular farmhouse in the Scottish countryside.

Constructed in 1953 as part of the ROTOR program, this military installation served as a Regional Government Headquarters for monitoring nuclear threats until 1992.

The command center exhibits original Cold War equipment, military communications systems, and dormitories that tell the story of nuclear defense preparations.

The facility includes guided tours, a restaurant, parking facilities, and mobility aids for visitors who can manage the entrance stairs.

The concrete structure contains 1-inch tungsten rods every six inches and features two 1.7-ton blast doors at the end of a 150-yard tunnel.
