The Fishery Protection Ships are supposed to enforce fishing regulations - basically make sure there are no illegal trawlers in the area, no one is exceeding EU quotas, that sort of stuff.
Faslane is the home port for the UK's nuclear sub fleet. The subs themselves would probably be at sea at the start of the nuclear exchange, however I'd have thought the base would have warranted a nuke. If it is intact then again you have a large number of Royal Navy personnel in the area who for the most part I would expect to stay loyal to the Crown and not a Scottish Separatist State.
There was also an American sub base along the coast from Faslane at Holy Loch (IRL it closed in the 1990's). Again, Survivor's Guide to the UK leaves this intact. ISTR there was also a US Navy SEAL presence in Scotland during the Cold War - might have been at RAF Machrihanish...
