Edinburgh
We'll be giving in-person tours of our historical site (originally a strategic military command center and nuclear shelter for the royal family) as well as our restoration project and scenic hill overlooking the forth waterway (where our goats and Emus live!) Free-roaming is also encouraged within the designated areas.
Reservations for entry into the main bunker will be limited and conducted as guided tours, which must be prebooked. Attendees will need to find parking in the neighborhood near our wilderness area. We will let visitors into our complex using the pedestrian gate which is found on the trail as you approach our address.
Besides a site for education about WWII and the cold war era, our intention is to transform this complex into a place where the arts, musical and theatrical performances, immersive experiences, and unique gallery spaces/events can take place; all of which will foster connections amongst visitors and anyone with a creative spirit. Our project is run by volunteers from all over the world who live and work together at the bunker, and the connections that are already formed here every day are an example of how everyone, regardless of their differences, can cooperate to achieve goals.. and in the process- form meaningful connections and friendships that last a lifetime. We are in the process of conveying this aspect of our project through our online presence and upcoming podcast.

Additional Access Information
We are located in the forest on top of Corstorphine Hill, surrounded by beautiful greenery and stone cliffs. If you are not able to explore the interior of the bunker due to the many stairs, you can still enjoy the outside areas and see our chickens and goats.
There will be tea and coffee available, and a fun colouring activity for all ages in our woodland hut.
