U-N-I-T-E-R Bunker, Highlands, February 2008

Visited this a couple of months back, passed it and thought it looked intriguing, after a recce, and a failed attempt with Bryag in the pouring rain, a return visit was made

These bunkers are actually above-ground hardened secure communication centres, usually for the RAF I believe, they were generally early 1990s in construction, and are blast-proof, basically the last generation Nuclear bunkers, complete with all the usual plant for air and water purification etcetera.

Apologies for the pics, they were taken with flash and no tripod due to the manner of access

Approach :



Main Doorway :



Some of the plant :





Operations map still there



Decontamination room :



One of the comms rooms, with Fire Exit door, this and the main door were the only doors in the whole place :



Corridor :



Rolls Royce genny



It's a big door



Interesting place this, not a lot of them about, this one's now been sold, to a storage company I believe.

Bloody hell! You Scottish geezers aren't have posting some tasty looking stuff. The condition of this place is amazing.

Very close, a few miles East, at a rather well known Army barracks

- it's not been live for a wee while, kept in a state of readyness, just been sold this month. Apparently all the plant is good to go, just switch it on

who buys a place like this? Oo

Cheers for posting this Zimbob … after our chat at Crail, I wondered when we'd see the U-n-i-t-e-r.

Has it not been bought as a Data Storage Facility or something like that?

Aye, that's right, I'm glad I got to see it first, I imagine they'll make some changes...
