History
The building was built for the General Post Office and completed by 1939.[1] During the Second World War it operated as a Y-station, collecting information for analysts at Bletchley Park.[1] Unlike other Y stations Brora did not close after the War but continued as a Cold War monitoring station under the aegis of Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) until it closed in 1986.[2]
