The first series of public exhibitions has been held by SSE in relation to a proposed wind farm in Acharossan woodland and the Otter Estate.

The development, if approved, would be located approximately 4km north west of Tighnabruaich in Argyll and Bute.

Earlier this month, the energy supplier submitted a Scoping Opinion for the project and the public consultations allowed the local community to meet members of the project team and discuss the plans.

Kirstanne McDowall, Acharossan's Liaison Manager said: "The exhibitions mark the first stage of the public consultation process and we look forward to continued engagement with the communities situated near the Acharossan site.

"The proposal is still at a very early stage and all feedback received will be considered as we pull together a final design for the proposed development. A second round of public exhibitions will be held next year before we submit our planning application."
