Whitelees Cottage bombing decoy control bunker is a Second World War defensive structure located in Renfrewshire, Scotland, approximately 230 metres north-west of Whitelees Cottage. The bunker served as a control point for bombing decoy operations, part of the civil defence infrastructure developed during the conflict to protect industrial and populated areas from aerial attack. Such decoy sites were designed to draw enemy bombers away from genuine targets by simulating industrial activity or settlement through controlled fires and lights. The bunker would have housed personnel responsible for coordinating the activation and operation of decoys in response to air raid warnings, representing an important element of Scotland's Second World War defensive strategy.
