Another option is creating an independent British territory within Scotland that would contain the Faslane and Coulport nuclear bases, according to the paper. It says the prospect of a break-up of the UK is worrying Whitehall, after the SNP returned to power in May on a pledge to push for independence and ban all nuclear weapons in Scotland.
