There has been debate about this for many months now. Last time I was at Callanish, people were handing out leaflets, asking folks to sign petitions etc. There is a lot of debate about this on the Hebrides website forum (www.visithebrides.com).
I normally don't mind a wind farm, in fact I think that they can be quite beautiful. Round here (Lancs/Cumbria borders)we have a few small ones but this one looks like it is going to be huge. The thought of those huge roads being built across the island and the destruction of the peat bogs is soul destroying. So, even if Callanish itself is not at risk, other sites surely must be? I'm sure I read that there is a burial chamber up on the hills where they are proposing it will be built?
