The Monadhliath - a suitable site for a wind farm?
The Monadhliath - a suitable site for a wind farm?
Winter comes to the Monadhliath Mountains in central Scotland, with snow now extending to the 500 metre contour line. A wild and unspoiled place, with the Cairngorm Mountains visible in the distance, viewed here from the summit area of Cairn Dulnan. Astonishingly, this most beautiful of places is under threat from a wind farm - Allt Duine - an anemometer mast can be seen in the middle distance. The scale of the proposed development - covering approximately 40 OS grid squares - can be seen from RWE-Innogy's website linked below.
