Adam Ingram MSP meets with members of the group set up to defend Straiton from wind farms. He said the Linfairn development was “totally inappropriate”. He listened to our concerns about the tremendous impact the turbines would have on the landscape, the issues about noise and health, the effect on visitors, the village and the school. He felt river valleys like the Girvan and Stinchar should be protected from unsuitable developments.

The hills in this photograph would be covered in giant turbines if the Linfairn wind farm went ahead.
