Despite all the brave statements about how the station would carry on whatever happened, when the legislation
was introduced Radio Scotland capitulated - just like most of the other stations. Click on the headline above, to see an article
from The Scotsman on 12th August 1967, two days before closedown.

At midnight on 14th August 1967 Radio Scotland closed down. Most of the last day's shows were pre-recorded. Of the DJ
team, only Mark West and Tony Allan were on board the ship. The others were all at the last Clan Ball
in Glasgow. Down south Radio London and Radio 270 also called it quits. The two Caroline ships were now alone. Click on the
headline above to read how the story was reported the next day and to hear some of the last minutes of Radio Scotland.
