The main room in the centre of the bunker. When built in World War II as a Radar processing block, this was the Filter Room, known as the 'pit'. It had a large map on a plotting table. Plotters would receive and process data from Radar, then mark the aircraft positions on the map. This room originally spanned both floors in the bunker, with a balcony above. The floor above was built during renovations in the 1980s. During later use as the Highland Council Emergency Centre, this was the main meeting room. Any major incident could be coordinated from here.
