It seems that local opinion and that of local elected representatives is of little concern to Jim Mather etc.<br /><br />Off-shore will eventually take over, no doubt, but the damage to landscape will aready be done.

It will lie west of the A826 while the Griffin windfarm, already underway and comprising 68 turbines, lies to the east of the A822 near Amulree.

Earlier in the week Lynne and I were in the Ochils but I just couldn't bring myself to photograph the new 13 turbine Burnfoot Windfarm - we could barely look.<br /><br />I hope your hand is well healed by now.
