Don’t all laugh at once!
LEAH MACRAE, ACTOR
River City star Leah MacRae loves Whitelee Windfarm
How often do you visit?
At least once a week. Sometimes more. But I try not to go too often because I want it to stay special.
How did you discover it?
Where my husband and I used to live on the south side of Glasgow we could see the wind turbine at Cathkin Braes. I was slightly obsessed with it because I had never seen one up close before. My husband told me there was a big windfarm up at Eaglesham Moor.
I will never forget the first time I went. My husband was laughing because I was like a kid. There’s a great visitor centre at Whitelee where you can learn more about the turbines and the energy – it’s very cool. From that first visit, I loved it.
What’s your favourite memory?
I took my wee gran up there one day when there was snow. She loves sunsets. We always had this amazing memory of a sunset we shared on holiday. We were talking about it not that long ago and she was upset because she couldn’t remember it properly.
I decided to get her in the car and off we went, chasing the sunset. My gran was so excited. When we got to the windfarm, there was snow – it was magical. She got out the car and stood in the snow and we watched the sunset together. It was beautiful.
Who do you take?
I usually like to go by myself. I sometimes take my husband or meet a friend up there. I had great fun sledging at Whitelee with my friend and her daughter.
What do you take?
A scarf, gloves and a jacket because it is windy after all.
What do you leave behind?
My worries. They blow away.
Sum it up in five words.
Peaceful. Sunsets. Beautiful. Contentment. Magical.
