MOUNTAINEERING leaders have objected to a wind farm proposed for south-west
Scotland.
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland, which has 11,800 members, said
E.ON’s project would damage the mountain landscape near the planned site
close to Carsphairn, Dumfries and Galloway.
Plans have been lodged for 19 of the 425ft turbines. It is the first time
the council has come out against a wind farm in the region. David Gibson,
the body’s chief officer, said: “We believe this site just doesn’t have the
capacity to support a wind energy development without visually fragmenting
the mountain landscape.”
