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????????
North flowing winds are rare in the UK, luckily enough from your perspective. So in trying to position oneself to minimise (not totally prevent, as that's impossible) risk of fallout reaching your location one have to work on the basis of prevailing winds which, for the entire British Isles, are from the SW to the NE (i.e. "southwesterlies"). Off course, if it kicks off in a meteorological blocking situation drawing in easterlies, the fallout risk suddenly increases.
