MCofS Objection to Lochluichart Wind Farm
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland have submitted the following response to the Energy Consents Unit of The Scottish Executive in respect of the amended application to build a wind farm at Lochluichart.
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) objects to the amended application by LZN Ltd to construct and operate a wind farm on the higher land between Loch Luichart and Loch Glascarnoch.
The MCofS is recognised by sportScotland the national body representing hillwalkers, climbers and ski-tourers. We are a membership organisation with over 2500 individual members, and 144 affiliated clubs with a further 7,000 members.
While acknowledging that the amended application is for fewer turbines, the MCofS still considers that this is an inappropriate location for an industrial development of this scale which will adversely affect the landscape of a large part of the Highlands.

Ramblers Association objection
The Ramblers' Association Scotland maintains our objection for the revised proposal for the wind turbine development at Lochluichart. Our original objection of 25th January 2006 was based on the visual intrusion of very tall wind turbines in an area which contains the qualities of wildness for which Scotland is widely famed.
