description When the Thatcher government acquired the Trident nuclear-submarine-launched-missile programme, Scotland remained the main base of Britain's strategic nuclear forces. Complex and expensive new support facilities were constructed at the existing British Polaris base at Faslane on the Gareloch in the Clyde Estuary; nuclear storage facilities were constructed nearby at Coulport. Further activities were to be carried out at the existing naval dockyard at Rosyth in the east of Scotland. These were the three major Trident facilities in Scotland. Over the 1979-99 time frame central government promoted the economic benefits of hosting the system, yet historical analysis reveals the true impact of Trident to Scotland.
