About the walk:

See a wind farm at close quarters and decide for yourself whether it’s an abomination, a fuss about very little or a necessary evil! 

From high on Alyth Moor near the Corb, this is a through walk to Bridge of Cally.  Along the way you will be able to experience human habitation from the prehistoric to early Nineteenth Century though actually the remains instead!

2008 should see the completion of the controversial 32 megawatt development which will generate enough power to provide the annual electricity for 20000 homes. There are 16 turbines, 67m high with blades 40m long. You will be close enough to hear how noisy they are – or perhaps not.
