WHEN Nicola Sturgeon rages that any attempt to stop Indyref2 would be anti-democratic, she should look in the mirror. The SNP government has repeatedly waved through ministerial approval for major windfarm developments that have been rejected by local councils. The latest looming illustration of this determined effort to overrule local democracy involves the bid to construct a windfarm at Strathy Wood in Sutherland. The proposal by the German multinational energy company RWE to erect 13 giant industrial turbines, each 180 metres high to blade tip, has come under fire from local objectors and has been refused planning approval by Highland Council. The SNP government passed legislation enabling it to call-in applications for windfarms that have an installed capacity greater than 50 mw.

Waterfall Wanders In Scotland
Falls, The Hermitage, Dunkeld
A trip to The Hermitage in itself is magical! Some of the tallest trees you’ve ever seen. However, what makes this such a beautiful 1.5-mile woodland wander is following the River Braan towards Black Linn Falls where the aptly named Rumbling Bridge offers fantastic views and heart-racing rumbles as the water cascades in three chaotic streams. Enjoy the echoes of the falls and the sensation of the tumbling water from the beautiful Georgian folly known as Ossian’s Hall, which sits so close to the waterfall that peering out over the balcony creates a sense of falling.
