Mon 26 Jun 2023 - Wind Turbines

7:00pm

There are 3 sites close to Livingston. It is suggested to use a Bulletin post nearer the time to decide which location is chosen.

Meet in the Car Park at Crofthead for car sharing.

George Edwards, James Wilson and I (John Love) had a look at potential windfarm sites and they're all a bit less than picturesque. By far the best one is between Shotts and Forth. It is extremely large and has very many turbines. Loads of parking besides locked gates.
