Whitelee Windfarm
This is a great place for kids to go after a day stuck in the house, there is a brilliant hands on visitor centre with wind tunnels and models.
A bit of relief after yesterday.
Whitelee Windfarm is Europe?s largest windfarm and is located on Eaglesham Moor just 20 minutes from central Glasgow. The windfarm has 140 turbines which can generate 322MW of electricity, enough to power 180,000 homes. Entry to the windfarm and visitor centre is free and with an interactive exhibition and 90km of trails, there is a lot to explore!
Over the past ten years Whitelee has been carefully planned and designed to work in harmony with the existing environment and after three years of construction the windfarm is fully operational and producing clean, green energy.
Whitelee?s trails are great for cycling, walking and even horse riding.
Whitelee is also home to a 25 square kilometre area of habitat management, one of the largest in the UK with lots of interesting species to spot like merlin and black grouse.
