A former Second World War bunker enhanced to withstand nuclear, biological or chemical attacks has gone on sale in the Highlands.

The "unique subterranean property" was originally built in 1941 to house the RAF during the conflict in Raigmore, Inverness.

Owners Highland Council do not have a "ballpark figure" in valuing the property, but have set a closing date for the sale for which offers are invited.

In a description of the bunker, set in a forested area of mature broad-leaved trees, the authority said: "The property includes a tarmacadam-surfaced car park and two subterranean levels which were built in 1941 to house the RAF during the Second World War.

"The bunker was built to survive a direct hit from the most powerful bombs of the time.

"The structure is built with thick concrete walls and ceilings.

"During the 1980s the facility was enhanced to enable it to withstand nuclear, biological or chemical attacks.

"As a result the premises now benefit from blast and sealed doors, decontamination facilities, two diesel generators to power the building and an air filtration system to provide safe air in the event of nuclear, biological or chemical attack."

Prospective buyers have until 2pm on December 6 to make an offer for the bunker.
