Wideford Hill Cairn

The cairn looking uncannily like Orkney's Secret Bunker, with the khaki sliding access hatch with white stencilled writing. Lovely view over the Bay of Firth, with the Holm of Grimbister on the right. My son is holding the Big Red Torch that Historic Scotland leave in a box next to these monuments. Most thoughtful.

Of course there is a real secret bunker on the top of the hill next to the Rotary Club direction thing (you'll know it when you see it). Anyone know how to get access to it, or who (if anybody) looks after it, now that the Royal Observer Corps has been disbanded?
