CONSTRUCTION work on a £15 million wind farm which is the first project of its kind in Scotland will get under way three years after it was first proposed.
The Community Wind Farm in Neilston, East Renfrewshire, could earn the local community £10 million over the next 25 years.
Four turbines that can create 10 megawatts – about twice Neilston's consumption of energy a year – will be constructed on the site of the old Drumgrain landfill on the Kingston Road.
