Glasgow alert as unmarked military convoy carrying nuclear warheads passes through city

A weapons convoy carrying 'up to eight' nuclear warheads has been tracked driving right through Glasgow.

The unmarked military convoy was tracked by anti-nuclear campaigners as it made its way from Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) Burghfield near Reading to Royal Naval Armaments Depot Coulport (RNAD) on Loch Long - the storage and loading facility for the nuclear warheads of the United Kingdom's Trident programme.

Nukewatch UK believe the convoy travelled west on the M74 right through Glasgow's southside to join the M8 south of the Kingston Bridge, before passing over the Erskine Bridge and travelling past Loch Lomond on the A82.
