Council accused over turbines bid

Campaigners have accused council planners of bowing to Government pressure over wind farms and warned one of Scotland's finest mountain areas is at risk from a development of high-altitude turbines.

The Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) says Highland Council's planning committee is about to agree "to raise no objection" to the Glenmorie Wind Farm in Sutherland when it meets next week, despite receiving more than 300 objections.
