Charity concerned by new Monadhliath wind farm plan – BBC

Published by SAS Volunteer on

A landscape conservation charity has raised concerns about plans for up to 65 turbines in the Highlands’ Monadhliath Mountains.
Developer Vatenfall has proposed its Glenmarkie project for a site about 10 miles (16km) east of Fort Augustus.
It would be near the 23-turbine Corriegarth Wind Farm, and north of the 66-turbine Stronelairg Wind Farm, which was approved following a legal challenge.
The John Muir Trust said Glenmarkie threatened an “irreplaceable” landscape, but Vatenfall said renewable energy was “essential” to protecting these areas from climate change. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y4we304nvo
