We are one of the largest and longest running peace organisations in Scotland campaigning against nuclear weapons Mission The Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (Scottish CND) works for the abolition of British nuclear weapons as a step toward the global elimination of all Weapons of Mass Destruction. Company Overview All Britain's 160 nuclear weapons are based in Scotland. Most are on Trident submarines which operate from the Faslane base near Helensburgh. The UK Government are currently planning to replace Trident with a new nuclear weapon system which would be based in Scotland until 2055. The Scottish Parliament is opposed to this proposal.

Faslane
The nuclear submarine base at Faslane had provided a focal point for Scottish CND from 1968 when the Polaris nuclear weapons system was based there up to the present with the Trident system.
