For 13 days in 1962, people feared the worst as Kennedy and Khruschev negotiated the world back from the brink of nuclear abyss. A crisis that was followed on TV sets across the world, images that would spark a tide of anti-nuclear protest and resonate particularly with people in the west of Scotland as they watched the arrival of US nuclear submarines into Holy Loch.
For Brian Wilson and Kay Macleod, the arrival of American sailors and military personnel to their town would change everyday life. In West Germany, Scots found themselves deployed as part of a massive military presence defending the border from the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies, while in Stornoway a group mobilised to protest against the potential relocation of 10,000 Nato troops to the island.
