    Arrow Tertowie School and Bunker, Aberdeenshire, February 2009

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

    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 :



    Gym Hall :



    Corridor action :





    Typical classroom - complete with escortmad



    Into the old part :





    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 :



    Decontamination shower and corridor :



    Ops Room :







    Plant room :



    Lavvy shot

    Sweet little explore this, many thanks to Alir147 for this one

    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!
