Most Scots back keeping Trident after independence, poll finds

Voters think Scotland should continue to be home to Trident nuclear weapons if it splits from the United Kingdom, a poll has suggested.

Some 45% people north of the border are in favour of keeping the submarines at Faslane if Scotland becomes independent, according to a YouGov poll for The Times.

If there was a yes vote, pollsters said, 34% of Scots opposed keeping the nuclear deterrent in the country's waters while 21% said they were undecided.
