It is near the sacred standing stone circles of Callanish. Reasons to oppose the development: 26 of the wind turbines will be visible from the stone circles. The pristine countryside will be torn up by roads bringing in equipment and turbines. Migrating birds will be killed by the turbines. The landscape is favored by hikers and other nature lovers.Write polite letters of protest to:Mr. Michael Russell MSP, Scottish Minister for Environment, Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh EH99 1SP, Scotland
