ORGANISATIONS opposing the construction of the large Viking Energy wind farm in the centre of the Shetland mainland have warned to expect more peat slides after an area at the south of Scalla Field gave way on Sunday.
Diggers were seen all day yesterday (Sunday) trying to stabilise the area next to a new track across the hill.

At 281 metres in height, Scalla Field is earmarked to host eight turbines once construction work is completed by 2024.
Viking Energy’s Aaron Priest said some of the excavated turves being temporarily stored at the roadside for reinstatement work slipped down the slope for a short distance, taking some of the surface material immediately below with them.
