2007 Glasgow Airport attack was a terrorist ramming attack which occurred on 30 June 2007 , at 15:11 BST , when a dark green Jeep Cherokee loaded with propane canisters was driven at the glass doors of the Glasgow Airport terminal and set ablaze . It was the first terrorist attack to take place in Scotland since the Lockerbie bombing in 1988 . The attack took place three days after the appointment of Scottish MP Gordon Brown as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom , but Downing Street dismissed suggestions of a connection . A close link was quickly established to the 2007 London car bombs the previous day . Although the doors were damaged , security bollards outside the entrance stopped the car from entering the terminal , where there were 4,000 people , with the potential for many fatalities
