	history of Faslane and Coulport (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Faslane was a beautiful bay with a stream winding down to the sea - with whin bushes and gorse on the hillside.
		Faslane was used as a naval base during the second world war and the bay was turned into a huge marshalling yard to serve the military port.
		After the war, Faslane was used as a shipbreaking yard, dismantling amongst others the battleship HMS Vanguard which had been built at great cost at the end of the war.

	Nukewatch Pathfinder
		On June 12, 1982, fourteen members of Dumbarton Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament established a camp at Faslane on Gaerloch, 30 miles west of Glasgow, Scotland.
		Faslane Peace Camp, TP, CND, Quakers, church groups, SSP, GP, SNP, STUC, Buddhist nuns, mothers and babies, and even British and European MPs face arrest blockading the base together.
		The peace camp is not just opposite the military base -- it’s the opposite of the base; an affirmation of life in the face of the machinery of death.

	Faslane G8 Blockade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Yet they won't even consider that the £48 a second that the UK alone spends on its nuclear weapons (let alone the $180 billion that the US has spent so far on the war in Iraq) could be better spent on avoiding future conflicts and providing clean water, healthcare and education around the world.
		Faslane is a Royal Navy submarine base on the Clyde 30 miles (45 km) from Glasgow and 60 miles (90 km) from Gleneagles.
		By blockading Faslane we're striking at a key part of the British military establishment and building on a history of highly successful and peaceful mass blockades.

	Protestors blockade British submarine base ahead of G8 summit
		The protest -- the eighth at Faslane in the past five years -- was staged by Project Ploughshares and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament ahead of the Gleneagles summit of the world's eight top industrialised nations.
		She said organisers were expecting up to 3,000 people to make the trek to Faslane, an hour's drive north of Glasgow, but by midday police put the turnout at more than 700 -- a figure that looked plausible to AFP reporters at the scene.
		Protesters danced to hearty drumbeats or lay down on the road at Faslane's two main gates, while at the oil depot a man perched himself atop the 10-foot (three-metre) fence before he eventually came down and was arrested for "breaching the peace," police said.

	British National Party - Faslane Protests Cost Taxpayer £1 Million
		Strathclyde Police have revealed that protests against the Trident fleet at Faslane Naval Base in the West of Scotland have cost the UK taxpayer in excess of £1 million.
		Carolyn Leckie claimed Strathclyde Police’s response to the protest had been politicised, professing: “I think the police are being politically abused because there has been a policy of mass arrests at Faslane when the protests are peaceful.
		But very often, when MSP’s and MPs go to Faslane, they break the law, which means more police to supervise the demonstrations.

	Madness at Faslane again, peace camp, naval base, scotland submarine base
		I refer of course to CND and the Greens that are currently camped out at the Faslane naval base in Scotland.
		Just because we have got rid of the sticks and collect weapons that can wipe out our existence instead does not necessarily mean we have developed as a species, and so, no matter what you say, all of us are in the same boat, and we are still tied to the land.
		I will be at the Faslane protest to register my opinion that disarmament and peace are realities within our grasp...So long as many of the above can see the ignorance of their position.
