Inside the heart of this anti-aircraft bunker lies the telecommunications systems. These 1950s systems were part of Scotland's Cold War defence network.

The small room is set up with switching modules, data recording units, and monitors. Fragments of a vintage paper tape punch system are lying on a charred desk. This equipment is a fascinating relic of the early era of computing before magnetic storage became available. There are several teleprinters, machines used to send and receive secure TELEX messages.

Sadly the room had suffered a fire a year or two ago, but still much of the equipment has survived (albeit a little charred)
