Golf developer slams turbines

A DEVELOPER behind a multi-million-pound golf course in St Andrews has claimed six wind turbines proposed for the fringes of the town would be the source of "immense and regrettable embarrassment".

Tayside businessman Ewan McKay, who is leading the long-running proposals for a £20 million golf development at Feddinch, claimed the small wind farm would be "disastrous" for the local economy, and membership of its "luxurious" clubhouse could diminish given that many of its suites will have a view of the site.
