John Muir Trust goes to court over Fort Augustus turbine plans

Conservation group The John Muir Trust has decided to mount a legal challenge over a decision by Highland Council to raise no objection to a 67-turbine wind farm near Fort Augustus. 

SSE Renewables had proposed a wind farm with up to 83 turbines at Stronelairg, near its Glendoe hydro electric scheme.

Councillors voted not to oppose the project if certain conditions were agreed, including a reduction in size. The trust has lodged a petition in the Court of Session for a judicial review of the decision.
