Loch Ness wind farms branded 'monstrous'
THE iconic hills above Loch Ness could become blighted by a proliferation of more than 200 wind turbines, campaigners have warned.
Scottish & Southern Energy Renewables (SSER) is presently consulting on plans to create a wind farm with up to 130 towers on moorland at Balmacaan, near Invermoriston. It has also identified a site for another potential wind farm site in the wider area, at Stronelairg.
Developer RidgeWind also wants to build 25 turbines opposite the existing 26-turbine Millennium Wind Farm at Glenmoriston. And a further 23 turbine development is earmarked at Druim Ba, between Drumnadrochit and Kiltarlity.
