AND THE SOUTH WEST

The most significant military facility on the Western side of Scotland is undoubtedly the Nuclear Submarine base at Faslane on the Clyde. As a result, it has been the focus for anti-nuclear and anti-war protests for decades. However, in addition to this are a number of places of interest that have contributed to making Scotland a military fortress. This includes a number of weapons production and testing sites, as well as a few important NATO facilities.
