The farm revisited

September 21, 2007

I wrote about the wind farm earlier on. Now I wanted to know the exact location, so I checked out some maps and websites. The project is known as the “Ben Aketil Wind Farm”. Ben Aketil is 266 meters high mountain, roughly between Dunvegan and Edinbane.

Check out the map below to get idea about the position. As you can see, it’s quite a bit away from our location so i doubt our views will be affected by the turbines.

[Update 21st September]: We drove by the farm today and the first two turbines have been erected. You can’t see them from our location but they’re quite visible when you’re approaching Edinbane. I thought they did not look too intrusive…
