The wind never stops blowing – John O Groat Journal

Published by SAS Volunteer on

A proposed five-turbine wind farm mooted for a site near Thurso has been refused by planners despite changes made to a previous application.
The Cairnmore Hill Wind Farm was knocked back by Highland Council under delegated powers.
A long-time supporter of the scheme who lives closest to the site at Forss said the decision didn’t make sense.
In a statement shared by RES, James Mackay said: “It’s a great location for a wind farm, the wind never stops blowing. Their decision means that we’re missing out on local construction jobs and contracts as well as much-needed funding for community groups in Forss and Thurso.
