Re my reply dated Sat, 14 July 2012. Here is another piece of information I located to confirm an intercept station at Saltcoats. However, I dispute the assertion of it’s use for monitoring North Sea (radio) traffic.

High-frequency (3-30Mhz), depending on various factors (power output, Ionispheric layer/time of day), can be transmitted over thousands of miles. However, if German vessels were operating in the North Sea, they would most likely transmit on low power, rendering it unlikely, although not impossible, the transmission would reach Saltcoats. The Atlantic was a more likely target for CSO Saltcoats.
