Campaigners fury over energy park plans at hidden beauty spot – STV

Published by SAS Volunteer on

Campaigners are angry over plans to build a huge energy park in one of Perthshire’s hidden beauty spots.
Developers Eurowind Energy Limited want to build eight wind turbines with blade tips up to 200 metres high on land within the Abercairny Estate near Crieff.
The site would be visible from Fowlis Wester and next to Meallbrodden Loch.
The Danish company behind it says the 100 MW energy park would be able to power the equivalent of 74,000 homes.
But neighbours are worried about the impact it would have on visitor numbers and the beauty spot.
