TURBINE blades arrived at an Annandale windfarm site this week, ready for installation.
The blades and tower sections were brought to the Solwaybank development near Waterbeck from Glasgow.
They were transported down the M74 in convoys, coming off at junction 21, Kirkpatrick Fleming; then onto the B6537 and in via Chapelknowe, where a new haulage track has been constructed to the site.
The 15 turbine windfarm is being developed by Renewable Energy Systems Ltd and is expected to become operational later this year.
A NEW series based on parts of the Lockerbie Disaster is now showing on Sky this week. Featuring Colin Firth and Catherine McCormack, ‘A Search for Truth’ was inspired by the memoirs of Dr Jim Swire, who lost his daughter Flora in the 1988 tragedy. Filming took place in Scotland and Morocco in early 2024 and Annandale Herald editor Fiona Reid went on the set to meet the cast and crew and find out more about it.
