Craigannet Wind Farm

Our Craigannet site is located adjacent to the recently built Craigengelt Wind Farm near Carron Bridge, Stirlingshire.

This area is now well established as ideal for wind farm development site having good wind exposure, few environmental sensitivities and limited visual impacts being ‘enclosed’ within a landscape of high plateau ground.   Not far to the north the now well established Earlsburn Wind Farm generates not only clean energy but a substantial income for the nearby village of Fintry though its ownership of one of the turbines.
