Back in early 2000s (I feel old saying that!) I recall there were rumours that Project Aurora might have operated from there, or at least flown from USA, to there and then back to States. There were stories of members of the public encountering Navy Seals around the perimeter of the base etc But I think it was noted that the Seals were most likely training while in transit to an Op. There was also a rumour that when the RAF Chinook crashed at Mull of Kintyre in 1994, that it might have 'collided' with something secret that was being tested, but this was never confirmed and sounded pretty far fetched to be honest.
