This view from the Eishken Estate across Loch Seaforth to the hills of North Harris is close to the proposed Muaitheabhal Wind Farm. The original planning application was for 133 turbines, but 33 were granted. Now this has been increased by a further six. It's difficult to picture more inaccessible countryside and to imagine how construction and maintenance will take place in one of the remoter parts of the UK. The workers will feel like early settlers.
