Windfarm travesty. In the centre is Tomont Hill . The original plans had 14 windturbines from this spot along this ridge up Tomont. The revised plans have the turbines start 600 yards away on this ridge . In fact you will be able to see the biggest clump of turbines in the approx 200 windfarm scheme in this spot. As the plans have three arcs of turbines from this ridge going right to Lions Mane Ridge on the right. The turbines go from Tomont along the ridges to Elvanfoot and cross over the motorway to the distant tree covered range that is seen on the left third of the pic. It then follows the valley ridge to Abington 9 miles away. To the right is Wintercleuch Fell which will also be covered in turbines to Sweetshaw Brae where low and behold the Ae forest windfarm starts. Note also all the forest have to go as they interfere with the air flow to the turbines.
