NT0458 : Harburnhead Wind Farm

taken 4 years ago, 4 km NNE of Tarbrax, South Lanarkshire, Scotland

Harburnhead Wind Farm
Harburnhead Wind Farm
Some of the 22 wind turbines at Harburnhead. The grid reference given for the subject is of the small white building in the centre of the picture. This is actually the lower of the 2 square buildings marked on the OS map, and possibly is linked to the clay pigeon club which was (or is still) situated in the middle of the windfarm.
It is worth noting that the vehicular entrance / exit to the road (I came onto the windfarm from further north) has security notices and two menacing things just inside the gate which look like a cross between daleks and Mars landing probes, which flash, sound sirens, and loudly tell you that your 'trespassing' has been noted and authorities are on their way. I very much doubt this actually happens and personally think the development covers such a huge area, with no danger to the public, that access is entirely legal anyway under Scotland's Right to Roam legislation.
