20th century military structures in Scotland
This is designed to showcase Scotland's surviving structures from both World Wars.
All of these buildings are at LEAST 60 years old, and some are considerably older. They weren't built to last for ever, and in most cases were built using materials now known to be deadly-like asbestos.
Do NOT enter them alone, without telling anyone where you're going, without a torch, and especially if you can't clearly see the floor at all times. People have DIED exploring these places. Better still, don't enter them at all; take photos from outside and be happy with what you have found.
