Haupland Muir Windfarm, Ayrshire coast
Haupland Muir consists of 12 2MW turbines mounted on 60m masts.  The blades are 40m in diamter so the total height is 100m.  It would require 600 such turbines to replace the nearby Hunterston B power station. Government subsidies make these systems appear economic but there is a serious risk we are sleep walking into industrialising one of Scotland's best assets, its countryside and scenery.
