Minutes from Edinburgh’s centre lies Barnton Quarry Nuclear Bunker — a vast three-storey, R4-class Cold War installation. Built for the UK’s top-secret ROTOR radar network, it later became Scotland’s Regional Seat of Government.
After decades of abandonment and fire damage, a remarkable grassroots restoration is bringing this underground site back to life. Descend below ground, walk raw spaces beside restored rooms, stand where RAF crews tracked Soviet bombers, see the BBC four-minute warning studio, and learn how officials planned to govern “from the ashes.”
An amazing opportunity to see part of Scotland's Cold War History.
