Only got here 4 months late... Loving the info here, just to throw my 2 cents on the fire, didn't most of these old cold war bunkers/ROC's get sold to mushroom farmers becuase its dark and the perfect place to grow them??

I think thats a bit of a myth. They arent very big for a start

Perhaps not the ROC's, but maybe the actually fallout bunkers that were dotted about?? Or do they not exsist and I've just been sold a totally fantasy?

Hmmm..... fantasy I think. The only fallout bunkers were the government and council war rooms which many were still used after the cold war. The Strathclyde one survived until 1996 and is an empty shell in East Kilbride. The dundee one is under private ownership and unlikely a mushroom farm and the Edinburgh one is burnt out

Yeah it seems a bit of a fantasy now I think about it, there are surely cheaper dark rooms to grow their mushrooms in, thank you for that very informative, just while we're on the subject since being privatly owned it appears the Dundee one has become haunted... http://www.spiritnights.co.uk/index_4.html haha

Livingston one was resurrected for a time as a nightclub then as a storage unit and then demolished.
Was in it a few times though long before i was camera oriented...

When I worked in Pollok Fire station during the 70s we were connected to the early warning system.Used to have to test it at the start of every shift.We also had a siren on the top of the station roof.Rumour was that if it ever went off we had to head for the Campsies until it was safe to come back into Glasgow.
