Activists and locals with opposing views on Trident
Campaigners at the Faslane Peace Camp have been telling 5 live's Lesley Ashmall how they support independence because it would mean an end to Trident, the nuclear system based at Faslane, the Royal Navy鈥檚 main base in Scotland.
Meanwhile, people in the nearby town of Helensburgh, spoke about the local economy's dependence on the site.
The SNP wants to get rid of Trident but those against independence say the consequences of a "Yes" vote would bring an end to Ministry of Defence shipbuilding in Scotland and thousands of jobs would go if Trident was removed.
The Yes campaign says contracts would still be won because of Scotland's expertise in shipbuilding, thus safeguarding jobs at Faslane.
