Took a special tour of a secret nuclear fall-out shelter earlier today. I am friends with one of the guys fixing it up for folks to come and visit it sometime in the future, so had the chance to take some pics to show you what's under Dundee that most folks don't know about.
This is what the building looked like before being demolished in the early 90's. The Royal Observer Corps were in charge of keeping an eye on the nuclear threat to Scotland and the UK. All that's left above ground is this doorway on a housing estate, the labyrinth underground has dozens of rooms and 2 levels.
I was warned DON'T TOUCH THIS!
Smells nice in here.
The hotline to The Police.
Which sets off this siren if you muck about with it.
Bomb power indicator, handy.
Early computer technology to work out casualties.
They look like little nuclear bombs but the red ones are other bunkers (now closed off) the green ones are the only ones people are allowed in. The rest of UK looks like this.
Fall-out chart.
I was relieved to leave to be honest, it's very claustrophobic down there.- Very coolYakuZoku

- so... did you touch it?pango
- NO as I was warned not to, I'm good like thatGardener
- This is so rad, pun intended. An apt I had in Birmingham (AL) had an old fallout shelter, but it was just a gutted out, multi floor dirt basement..garbage
- ..where the boiler room used to be. The only thing left was ancient homeless camps, Metallica tapes, and a stack of Cold War era sanitary pads.garbage
- cool looking maps!milfhunter
- not too sure about the map - there's another underground shelter (which the public are allowed in) south of st andrews not marked on that maphans_glib
