Now that is very good news,..living as I do 50 miles due west of Fort William in the heart of Lochaber
...but hang on a minute,... I was off on a `sell my gas mask trip` then,... untill I remembered that all the Vangard-class submarines, with their Trident missiles are based at Faslane on the Clyde,... which is south of Lochaber.
I know that the missiles are stored on Loch Long,... but if I know that then so do the bad guys,...I am also aware that the prevailing winds are west to east [ usualy ] so any nasty stuff from an attack would be heading for Edinburgh/Dundee
.... but we sometimes get a north wind????????
A major part of survival is invisibility.
