WIND
FARM ACTIVITY IN CAITHNESS AND SUTHERLAND This list is as supplied to CWIF by the Highland Council. The website is subject to continuous development as and when the information becomes available. The complete list for the Highlands can be downloaded here. The current Highland Council map can be seen here (please note the list is slightly more up to date than the map due to very recent additions). The Grid References below can be clicked to show maps with existing / prospective sites. Where turbines already exist they are individually pinpointed on these maps, although it may be necessary to change the zoom level in order to see them. Some Sites in the Submitted But Not Yet Determined sections can be clicked which will take you to an objection form, or to a third party site where an objection can be made.
