Trout are unable to live in the Burn of Lunklet because of high concentrations of metal from the Viking construction site, a damning report has found.
A report into water quality around the windfarm site found that the lack of trout in the burn was completely “unprecedented”.
And Waterside Ecology, who monitor the water quality, said the Burn of Lunklet had been “substantially impacted” by very low pH and metals.
This was “almost certainly a result” of excavation at the nearest borrow pit, and a nearby turbine base, they found.
