As the time draws near for Spanish-owned Scottish Power Renewables (SPR) to apply for a licence to build its proposed offshore windfarm ‘MachairWind’ off Islay and within sight of Mull and Iona, resistance to the proposal is growing.
Last month we printed an article from Visit Mull & Iona on the subject, which referred to a brief by Iona Community Council (ICC) on the impact of MachairWind. This can be accessed at www.visitmullandiona.org/machairwind-brief-from-iona-community-council.

Now several community groups have got together under the name Hebridean Horizon (HH) in order to co-ordinate a response. You can find out more at www.hebrideanhorizon.co.uk. The ICC brief can also be viewed on the HH website.
