This was in the paper today - controversial turbine plan near Easter Aquhorthies stone circle, Aberdeenshire.

Also new application for turbines on Pressendye. Just a few months after an turbine application was not granted on this hill. someone else is trying to ruin (imo) this lovely area which overlooks Tarland and Tomnaverie stone circle and the Mulloch area in Aberdeenshire.

Thanks for that, though my geographical knowledge of Scotland is so scant as to be almost non-existent when it comes to tracking down stuff..but
Well the East Acquorthie stone circle site has Historic Scotland on its side, the wind turbine will only be 2000 feet from the circle, which is very close! Have put it as a 'news' item, the council was meeting today, apparently Scottish government leaves it in the hands of local councils and National Parks, unless of course it is a site with a lot of turbines...

Yes I can see the Pressendye one on the Tomnaverie stone circle site here,

The 'archaeological review' is'nt very helpful, mostly a watching brief, and dependent on a Historic Scotland report, which has'nt arrived yet. These things go through very quickly by the way, think planning application was made at the beginning of this year, hardly any time for public consultation...
