                                            1. We believe that wind power is not delivering that aim and cannot deliver that aim
                                            2. Focused on Scotland - working with UK Action Groups for a national voice

                                            to lobby at the Scottish Liberal Democrats Conference

                                            PLEASE NOTE:
                                            Stop Highland Windfarms Campaign is grateful to Highland Council and the Police for their help in accommodating our requests for the march start point and route. Please ensure that the march is orderly, no litter is dropped and the public is not inconvenienced.
                                            The Police have asked that we move as a single unit along the route in order to minimise disruption to traffic and pedestrians.
                                            Where a number of people are coming from one group, please appoint a person as steward and ensure they are identified by wearing a hi‐vis jacket. Further information on stewarding will be circulated in good time for the event.
                                            Parking: The upper floors of Rose Street car park provide the best value and are less busy than the Eastgate Centre car parks. Rose Street car park is accessed from Longman Road (the main road into town from the Kessock Bridge roundabout). There is metered parking (quite cheap for several hours) on Culduthel Road but take care not to park in the “Permit only” area. As it’s a Saturday there may be parking in the Council car park at the back of Eden Court. Also there may be some spaces available at Eden Court Theatre.

                                            The first great requisite of motive power is; that it shall be wholly at our command, to be exerted when, and where, and in what degree we desire.The wind, for instance, as a direct motive power, is wholly inapplicable to a system of machine labour, for during a calm season the whole business of the country would be thrown out of gear.

                                            Scotland is still reliant on electricity imported from England, despite a claim by the First Minister Alex Salmond last month that “Scotland hasn’t imported electricity for donkey’s years.”Read the full article on The John Muir Trust website

                                            When the wind isn't blowing hard enough-they put virtually nothing into the National Grid. When it's optimum wind-they get paid to shut down-What ????

                                            Out of Wind Power


                                            If you’re hankering to see Britain’s green and pleasant land and rugged coastline, don’t wait  too long.  In an increasingly desperate bid to meet its EU climate and renewable-energy targets, the British government is planning to build 10,000 onshore and offshore wind turbines – many 400 feet high – over the next 10 years.
