SCOTTISH CND continues to be very busy making the case for removing nuclear weapons from Scotland and from our world.
The centrepiece of our activities this year will be the Nae Nukes Anywhere international march and rally which will take place on Saturday September 22.
The event’s purpose is to demonstrate the level of opposition in Scotland and across Britain to nuclear weapons being based at Faslane.
However the event is also about presenting a clear challenge to the Westminster government to support the Global Ban on Nuclear Weapons Treaty which was endorsed by 122 countries at a special session of the United Nations in July 2017.
