NS6775 : Inchterf 'Secret' Bunker, Kirkintilloch

taken 17 years ago, near to Birdston, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Inchterf 'Secret' Bunker, Kirkintilloch
Inchterf 'Secret' Bunker, Kirkintilloch
Easily seen from the nearby A803, the hatch is still secured with substantial padlocks, no signs exist, and the perimeter fencing has collapsed. The hill in the distance is Barr Hill, home to a Roman Fort and a defensive position on the Antonine Wall... an unusual link between old and new.

In the middle distance is a Sand Pit, previously home to Inchterf (MOD PE) part of the Directorate of Proof & Experimental Establishment belonging to DERA. Presumably the bunker was for the local top-brass? No explosions have been heard from here since it closed in the early 1990's.
