Help Us Fund Our Fight at the Public Inquiry

More than 1,400 people objected to the giant wind turbines proposed for the Hill of Fare, a key factor to securing the a formal objection by Aberdeenshire formally. Now there will be a Public Inquiry, our only chance to stop the monster turbines on the Hill of Fare.

The Hill of Fare is the wrong place for an industrial scale wind farm. Enormous turbines up to 200 m high would loom over our beautiful Dee Valley rural landscape, an internationally renowned tourist gateway to the Cairngorms and communities from Westhill to Midmar and Torphins.

They threaten air safety around Aberdeen Airport, risk contaminating private water supplies serving about 150 local homes and farms, damage fragile habitats, harm wildlife, and destroy our historic views and cultural heritage.

We are not anti-wind power. But Scotland’s policy is clear: the right wind farm in the right place. The Hill of Fare wind farm proposal is not.

The Size.

The proposed turbines for Hill of Fare will be the largest ever constructed on Scottish soil.
The top of Scolty Hill is 299m above sea level. The highest of the proposed Hill of Fare turbines could top out at 720m above sea level.

Nae Fare is a passionate community of individuals, living locally, unlike the landowner of the Dunecht Estate who lives and works in SE England, dedicated to safeguarding the Hill of Fare and its stunning surroundings.
