Scottish landscape is being
ruined by wind turbines

Letter to the P & J, 28 Dec 2024

Sir - While ministers in the Scottish parliament are being transported in limousines to functions such as football matches, our beautiful highlands are being ruined visually and economically by wind turbines and overhead cables, while tourism - Scotland's lifebood - is being severely damaged.

Politicians revel in photo opportunities.

Strange, however, that they never leave the central belt and go up to the Highlands and other areas where local people and businesses could point out the devastation that wind turbines and plyons and the cables necessary to transfer electricity to the Central Belt have been imposed on communities, leaving people distraught and house values slashed.

The area arouond Kyle of Sutherland is already saturated with wind turbines, yet more planning applications are being received..

I challenge the Scottish ministers to get out of their comfort zones and go to those areas affected by wind turbine developments and listen to the residents, the hoteliers and the tourist organizations.
