政府在这一时期为一些规模可观的项目投入了大量资金。1958年,政府半强制性地向科尔维尔有限公司贷款5000万英镑,以鼓励该公司在雷文斯克雷格建设一座配备最尖端工艺的轧钢厂,但以安德鲁·麦坎斯爵士为首的科尔维尔公司历任总裁认为苏格兰市场的规模太小,投入巨资建设轧钢厂的决定在商业上缺乏保证。从一开始,这个巨大的变化就给科尔维尔这一炼钢企业的发展可能性带来了负担和威胁。接下来,1963年5月,爱丁堡公爵在林伍德(Linwood)为苏格兰近三十年来建成的第一座汽车厂——鲁茨汽车厂(Rootes)揭幕,引起了公众的广泛关注。这座汽车厂耗资2350万英镑,规划中的最大年产量高达惊人的15万辆。最后,在1964年12月,英国汽车公司(British Motor Corporation)在巴斯盖特(Bathgate)建立了一座规模庞大的卡车制造厂。无论上述项目的商业前景如何,它们都全然无力挽救保守党在苏格兰的选情。在巴斯盖特卡车厂正式投产的同一年,哈罗德·威尔逊(Harold Wilson)以在保守党统治时期“被浪费的13年”为口号,在大选中以微弱优势胜出。即便保守党政府在苏格兰大力建设大型工厂、展开工业投资,苏格兰选民仍将大多数选票投给了工党,让工党在苏格兰赢得多达43个议席。威尔逊之所以能在大选中赢得6席微弱多数,苏格兰的选情无疑是一个十分重要的原因。
