BOULFRUICH Wind Farm

Trading blows
Bosses at BOULFRUICH Windfarm insist plans by Caithness Power to build four giant windmills less than a mile away will stop gusts reaching their smaller units which would be dwarfed by the four new 590ft turbines at Latheronwheel.

Wind farm 'would affect Wick airport'
The other farms are at Forss, Causeymire, BOULFRUICH, Flexhill, Achairn, Baillie, Camster, Bettyhill, Strathy North, Strathy South, South Shebster, Hill of Lieurary, Burn of Whilk, Stroupster, Bower, Durran, Olgrinmore, Halsary and Wathegar.
