Aberdeenshire resident of 40 years objects to 820 ft turbines – Energy Voice

An Aberdeenshire resident that has stayed in the same home for 40 years has written a letter of complaint to those behind a local wind farm proposal.

Company RES’s proposed wind farm would be made up of 17 turbines, 820ft tall situated on the Hill of Fare, less than four miles from Banchory in Aberdeenshire.

Frank Murray of Midmar, north of Banchory, has written a letter documenting his objections to the scheme to its project manager Gavin Shirley.

He described his home as “an idyllic place to live”, however, his south-facing land would look on to RES’ proposed wind farm.

Mr Murray has enjoyed the “peace and tranquillity of the surrounding countryside” since his home was built in 1982 but is now worried that this will be ruined if the project comes to fruition.
