Connecting nature & heritage
Our proposals include a multi-use trail, made up of over 12km of nature & heritage trails, plus a 3km woodland corridor linking landscape, ecology and history. The new access tracks will enhance connectivity for walkers, cyclists and other users as well as linking to our nearby Lethans Wind Farm projects and further afield to South Lanarkshire.

Celebrating local identity
Developed in collaboration with Netherthird, New Cumnock and Logan primary schools (who helped us name the wind farm), the Cumnock History Group and Cumnock Heritage Centre; interpretation boards will explain the area’s farming and mining past, land restoration and transition to renewable energy, creating a lasting and accessible record of local identity.

A place to learn and explore
