The longest day of the year will dawn on Thursday 21st June. We are inviting anyone who wants to demonstrate against nuclear weapons being deployed from Faslane to join this beautiful ceremony by coming to the North Gate of Faslane at 10 p.m. on Wednesday 20th June, with candles in decorated glass jars.

We will spend the dark hours in a vigil, circling the roundabout, making light patterns, meditating, singing, chanting, offering peace, tranquillity, and hope for the disarmament of nuclear weapons.

Bring food and non-alcoholic drinks to share along with songs, dances, games and any creative offerings you wish to share.

As dawn breaks anyone who chooses may wish to start a gentle blockade of Faslane and others may drift away home.

Solstice at Faslane

Around 25 people gathered to celebrate the Solstice at Faslane as part of the Faslane 365 blockades. The midges were horrendous, in huge biting clouds, and it was only with the arrival of large quantities of black netting provided by Clare, from the Peace Camp, and loads of midgie hoods, from Jane, that we all survived. The police cowered in the safety of a police van which had its engine running all night. They haven't started acting on the necessity of preventing climate change yet!
