HM Naval Base Clyde, Faslane, is the home of Britain's nuclear deterrent
An Iranian man and a Romanian woman have been charged after attempting to enter the Faslane naval base, which houses the UK's nuclear-armed submarines.
Police Scotland reported that the 34-year-old man and 31-year-old woman were arrested at HM Naval Base Clyde near Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, at approximately 17:00 on Thursday.
They are scheduled to appear before Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Monday.
The Faslane base, located on the Gare Loch about 25 miles (40km) northwest of Glasgow, is the home of all the Royal Navy's nuclear submarines.
This includes the UK's four Vanguard-class ballistic missile submarines, which carry Trident nuclear missiles.
