Whitelee Windfarm - near Eaglesham, Renfrewshire


The biggest windfarm in Europe on the moor south of Glasgow.

As you can see it's a big place and covers several square miles of moorland. These photos were taken while there were still the last traces of snow on the ground, looking east.

The visitor centre is at about 900 feet (305 metres) above sea level



To give you some idea of the scale of the place this section cropped from the above photo has in excess of 50 turbines in it.



A little closer in, showing more detail. That's Loch Goin in the distance.



A panorama of the area.

That long white metal object laid flat just to the left of the fork in the roads is one of the blades from the windmills. It's a bit big.

The towers are about 200 feet (60 metres) high to the hub and the blades reach well above that.
