Welcome to Secret Scotland
WWII Battle HQ at Inverallochy
Secret Scotland aims to provide a common resource where secret, hidden or otherwise notable Points of Interest around Scotland may be recorded and shared, and is modelled after the class-leading format of Wikipedia.
If you have an interesting subject of local interest, then please consider sparing a moment to add a page, to help expand and support this site.
There are four resources available to help with this aim:
- This Secret Wiki where anyone may create and save pages.
- The Secret Scotland Forum, where site content may be discussed.
- The Secret Scotland Blog, where news, announcements, and interesting items are posted as required.
- The Secret Scotland Photo Pool in Flickr, where members may share interesting images.
Secret Scotland can also be found on Twitter, where news alerts and items that are currently too short to justify inclusion in one of the more formal options listed above can be posted quickly.
It's also where news of any site problems or outages will be posted.
Lost ROC post we 're-discovered'
By secret or hidden, we're really just referring to anything that might be described as lost, unknown, uninvestigated, unexplained, undiscovered, unexplored, forgotten, undisclosed, underground, subterranean, camouflaged, disguised, suppressed, or similar. In simple terms, it could just be something (or somewhere) that's just a bit out of the ordinary, and might not be noticed if not highlighted. As inspiration, these are a few of the existing Categories :
"A nation that forgets its past has no future."
- Winston Churchill
Map on a page feature
The site features a very easy method for including a Google map on any page, to show where Points of Interest are located. Please refer to the Map 101 page for further information and instructions.
Together with our own map, there will usually be a set of automatically generated links to a number of other online mapping services. These are set to show aerial images (rather than maps) of the area described on the page, and may occasionally appear to be blank. This is not a fault, and merely indicates that the service provider currently has no aerial imagery available for that location. You can obtain a usable view either by zooming out a few steps, or switching to their Map view.
In the case of pages with multiple points, the linked aerial views will be centred on the main subject, identified by a marker on our map. Clicking on a marker will usually open a descriptive text window. This point should be used as a starting point to identify related locations in the linked aerial views.
