The remoteness of Faslane and Coulport

It appears that some unionist politicians have got the impression that Faslane (the nuclear submarine base) and Coulport (the storage and loading facility for Trident nuclear warheads) are located in a remote corner of Scotland.

Just to help them appreciate the remoteness, here’s a map:

Please note the scale in the lower left corner.

    Perhaps you should show a similar scaled map showing the area round Aldermaston, where they make the warheads?

      Does warhead production carry similar risks to storage and deployment (honest question)?
