GLASGOW — Scottish nationalists have long defined themselves by their opposition to nuclear weapons. Alongside promoting Scottish independence, the Scottish National Party (SNP) has spent decades advocating the unilateral removal of Britain’s nuclear deterrent — the Trident missile system — from its base at Faslane, near Glasgow, “at pace.”Spooked by war and global uncertainty, some in the party now want to change that.
