Power line could have been built underground, says inquiry
The Scottish Government’s insistence that it lacked the power to ensure parts of the Beauly-Denny power line were placed underground has apparently been called into question by the official report of the public inquiry.
Energy Minister Jim Mather approved the controversial 137-mile line that would cut through some of Scotland’s most scenic landscape on Wednesday, on the condition that the developers came up with ways of limiting the visual impact at certain points on the line.
