These photographs are of landscapes within Dumfries & Galloway threatened by proposed wind farms.
Garcrogo Windfarm: 7 Windturbines up to 180m in height
Barmark Hill looking North West from road to Barmark. The close proximity of several operational Blackcraig turbines (110m) to the proposed Garcrogo Windfarm is clearly evident.
Barmark Hill and Greentop of Drumwhirn looking North West from the minor road near Glaisters. All 7 turbines will be visible.
Garcrogo Hill and Barmark Hill looking North East from the A712 near Auchenvey Cottages. It is likely all 7 (up to 180m) turbines will be visible. Also in view, to the left, are several operational Blackcraig (110m) turbines.
Blackcraig operational windturbines (110m) looking North West from Glaisters Bridge. Garcrogo turbines would be nearly twice the height at up to 180m.
Barmark Hill and Greentop of Drumwhirn, proposed site for several Garcrogo turbines (up to 180m), looking West from Glaisters.
Barmark Hill looking North West from Nether Glaisters. All 7 turbines will be visible.
Knarie Windfarm: 27 Windturbines up to 200m in height
Castramon Hill looking West from the minor road linking Corsock to Dunscore. Several of the turbines will be visible on the skyline.
Glaisters Wood looking South West from above Nether Craigenputtock. Several of the turbines will be visible in the view shown. The minor road linking Corsock to Dunscore runs through the valley.
Loch Urr from the west shore looking South East to Castramon Hill. Several of the turbines will be visible. on the right
Castramon Hill and Glaisters Wood looking North East from Glaisters towards the proposed site. The turbines would be seen across the whole horizon and will be up to 6 times the height of the radio mast in view (25m).
Sanquhar II Windfarm: 44 turbines up to 200m in height
Polgown, a property purchased by the Developer to make way for Sanquhar II.
Looking north to Whiteside Hill, with Polgown in the foreground. The proposed site for Sanquhar II turbines. Also in view are operational Whiteside Hill turbines; the Sanquhar II turbines will join up with these.
Other Dumfries & Galloway Landscapes Under Threat
