Not entirely sure if this is in the right spot, given the dual nature of this one, but never mind :p

Visited this as part of the DerP Scotland meet, Tertowie was originally a private house, then a residential school, then part of Aberdeen College campus.

First the school, changing rooms :

Complete with cracking fireplace :

Then the bonus We discovered the 'nuclear bunker' was open - this is actually the Grampian Council Emergency Bunker...


"This Grampian Regional Council emergency centre was opened in 1962 as the north-east sector Civil Defence Corps group control and it remained in use until the end of the Civil Defence Corps in 1968.

"It was re-activated and modernised in 1987, but was finally closed in 1998.


Looking down, concrete filled blast door :

I think back in the day, this was a residential school for bad folk because my mum told me she remembers going there in the summer holidays to see her brother [my uncle] as he was put there for a few weeks. And he was a bad boy !!
It was also a tattie picking place! :D
