Control Bunker Starfish Decoy Site Auchenreoch Muir
This was the control bunker of a Starfish Decoy Site. It simulated a town with fires and many bombs were dropped by German bombers, so the nearby city of Dumbarton was spared.
The bunker was also used as shelter for the personnel when the plan worked.
