Machars residents turn out in force to view controversial Galloway Hills windfarm proposal.Two expeditions were required – to Garlies Castle in Old Minnigaff, the former seat of the earls of Galloway, and, higher up to the north, Nappers Cottage on the Moor of Drannandow. Having featured Lairdmannoch last week, the News visited the Blair Hill site on what was a glorious autumn day.
The proposed sites are at Lairdmannoch near Laurieston, Blair Hill in western Kirkcudbrightshire and Glenvernoch, over the Cree in Wigtownshire. Three more major windfarm projects are being proposed for the southern approaches to the Galloway Hills.
