  • Development and Infrastructure Services
    DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES PLANNING, PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND LICENSING COMMITTEE 22 nd April 2015 ______________________________________________________________________________ MACHRIHANISH AIRBASE: MAST 1/10 and PDA 3001 and AFA 14/7 MASTERPLAN REPORT ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION Within the ‘Argyll & Bute Local Development Plan’ (March 2015) the land associated with the former RAF Machrihanish air base has been identified as a Strategic Masterplan Area for green energy/strategic business related development. The majority of the site has been designated as Area for Action 14/7 in recognition of the redevelopment and inward investment opportunities it affords. The extreme western end of the site has been designated separately as PDA 3001 for low density ‘up market’ housing development. The airfield has a history of occupation by the RAF, the US military and NATO forces. The longest runway in Scotland was constructed at the base during the 1960’s although following the end of the Cold War the base reverted to ‘care and maintenance‘ status which enabled part of that runway to become used for civilian aviation. Campbeltown Airport operated by HIAL now utilises the eastern end of the runway. Prior to total demilitarisation of the site, land surplus to MoD requirements was made available for commercial development. That included the disposal of the former military housing associated with the base (now private housing at the Sound of Kintyre) and the development within the confines of the base of large wind turbine tower manufacturing plant. Ultimately, the base was disposed of by Defence Estates in 2012 to the Machrihanish Airbase Community Company (MACC), a venture established for the purposes of acquisition, management and development.

  • Scotland the Brave? US Strategic Policy in Scotland 1953-1974
    Scotland the Brave? US Strategic Policy in Scotland 1953-1974 D G MACKAY SCOTLAND THE BRAVE? US STRATEGIC POLICY IN SCOTLAND 1953-1974 To April and Lorraine i Scotland the Brave? US Strategic Policy in Scotland 1953-1974 ABSTRACT During the Cold War, American strategic policy was exercised and implemented on a worldwide basis; decisions taken by Presidents and their advisers were eventually implemented at some other location. Scotland was one of these other locations and this research project will examine the implementation of the US strategic doctrine and its eventual delivery in Scotland. The research covers the following four questions. Why were the Americans present in Scotland during this period in such strength? What were they doing there? How did this change over time? How does this study of policy implementation help us to understand the American motives? The research is split into six separate chapters. The first chapter sets the scene and poses the research questions noted above. The purpose of the remaining chapters is to examine activities that had a physical presence in Scotland and interrogate the research sources to find answers to the contextual questions. Chapter Two examines how the US established and maintained an intelligence gathering system at Edzell and Thurso, apparently regardless of any larger strategic imperatives. Chapter Three deals with the creation of the US Polaris submarine base at Holy Loch, the most high profile base in the UK. Chapter Four, anti-submarine warfare (ASW) strategy addresses the strategic importance of the Scottish base at Thurso for this purpose. Chapter Five concentrates on the communications, navigation and logistics tasks carried out by the US forces in the UK, and especially in Scotland.
