i think most of them have been filled in now, but not all . the last one was in was haydon bridge and had all the original papers/maps and yes those bunks ! it was surprisingly very well preserved and would make a decent bol for the short term use anyway.

They are distributed in a triangular pattern every 16 miles in three directions from the local command centre IIRC. I think all the locations are actually listed on Sub Brit or in War Plan UK.
OK quick dig lists War time HQs for you in Kirkaldy Fife, Craigiebarns Dundee Tayside, Woodhill house Aberdeen, Raigmore Inverness.
Here you go an interactive doofah thing.

RE: Grave bol
As someone who isn't familiar, what's a roc bunker & how would I recognise one? The questions may make me sound thick but I'm tired, been up since 3am.
