Come and see…

The four wind turbines at Skelmonae have been up and running since early 2010 and we have been working hard to complete a range of facilities for visitors who want to come and see them. The hillside itself also has sweeping views across rolling farmland to Bennachie in the distance.

To allow our visitors to enjoy their time in the fresh air (naturally, it can be a bit bracing up here!), we’ve laid a sheltered walking, cycling and horse-riding track. We’ve planted flowering bulbs, species-rich grasses and wildflowers alongside that will feed the insects and wild birds, as well as looking pretty. The initial section of the track is now complete and has 2 new car parking spaces at the start of it.  At the top of the hill we’ve created an area with picnic benches and tables, plus an information board to identify all the local landmarks that can be seen from there on a clear day.

We would be very happy for you to visit Skelmonae Windfarm to experience wind turbines for yourself up close – and we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised! Please click here to get travel directions .

If you or your group would like to have a guided tour, with a chance to look inside the towers, then please call us in advance and we can arrange this with you. Contact David Smith on 01358 701646.
