Scotland's secret bunker

I had an hour or so to spare this afternoon in East Neuk of Fife, and stopped in at 'Scotland's Secret Bunker', which was to have housed the government in the event of a nuclear attack. Spooky, spooky place, all the more so as much of the contents are as they were left (closed in 1993). Walk down the damp tunnel into the bunker with its 3m thick walls all round. Well worth a visit if it's your thing - and lots of interesting 'cold war' facts and artefacts. In the cinema they were playing the news reel that would have gone out of there had been a nuclear attack, how to build a radiation shelter in the hallway of your house using doors and mattresses - "stay inside for 2 days at least after the fallout as the radiation will be at its worst then" - you'll be OK under you homemade shelter though.....
