A controversial car load of soft toys followed a convoy of nuclear warheads along busy roads through Central Scotland on Saturday afternoon. The dangerous furry cargo had picked up the convoy shortly after it crossed the border into Scotland at lunchtime on Saturday. While the Scottish population recklessly pursued their usual Saturday afternoon pursuits of shopping and watching the football four nuclear warhead carriers were driving North at a steady 50 miles per hour. The soft toys travelling in wintry weather, were accompanied by military police with flashing blue lights along the entire route but they were happy to wait patiently while the convoy took a rest at Forthside Barracks in Stirling for an hour, emerging into the football crowds making their way home from the match. Their route took them along the M74, M73, M9, A811 and finally the unmarked 'Haul Road' from Lochlomondside to Coulport, arriving at 7pm.
