Alex Clarke recounts a story about an unnamed Scottish communist associated with the SNP's early history. In his account, the man wrote a Soviet geography textbook identifying Edinburgh as the United Kingdom's capital. He then links that error to Soviet nuclear weapons being aimed at Edinburgh. Neither the person's name nor a textbook or targeting document is supplied, leaving the anecdote's supporting evidence unidentified.
