What do you call a secret that isn’t a secret anymore?
A great day out!
And so it is with Scotland’s Secret Bunker, a now well-known attraction which was once designed as an HQ for government should the UK be attacked by a nuclear bomb. Situated near St Andrews in Fife, guests at Elderburn are not far from exploring this fascinating glimpse into a ‘what-if’ – and discovering one of Scotland’s best kept secrets for over 50 years.

Thirty years ago, you would drive past the secret bunker none the wiser. It would be the same today if it wasn’t for all the signs, old tanks and rockets at it now! That’s because on the surface, it is a normal looking farmhouse. It’s the sort of thing you see in movies. But when you enter, you’ll soon find yourself nearly 100 feet below ground . It was built in 1951 and remained operational until 1993. It is now a museum and everyone is welcome.

The secret bunker is near the town of Troywood, not far from St Andrews. Its postcode is KY16 8QH. Getting there from Elderburn is easy, only taking around 20 minutes in the car. Head south along the B940 until you see signs. If you miss the signs, stop when you see tanks and army machines parked up near to an old building! Find out more about Scotland’s Secret Bunker here.

Find Out MoreWe stayed in lodge 4 which was by far the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in, immaculate, spacious, so well equipped. The books, DVDs and board games were an extra touch and came in handy for some family time after exploring during the day. The surrounding area is beautiful and so many things to see and do nearby. West Sands beach is clean and beautiful and Bishop’s Wood and Craigtoun Country Park about a mile away are both worth a look. There are so many things we didn’t get chance to explore so I think we will be back. I think we will struggle to find any other accomodation as nice as this. Many thanks to Anne and the team.
