Read full article at source: BBC

BBC – The Bunker, which was built in 1941 for the RAF in Inverness, will be open to the public for Doors Open Day on Saturday. The building, along with two other bunkers nearby which are both now demolished, played a vital defence role in the Highlands during World War II. Information from radar stations on the Scottish coast and in Northern England was processed inside the Bunker. It was dubbed the filter block and acted as the collecting point for radar plotting information with a range of 180 miles from the Scottish coast.
