Ceislein Onshore Wind Farm

Introduction

Our Ceislein project is located in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland.

We originally chose land at Ceislein due to various investigations that showed its suitability for a wind farm. After a period of pre-application consultation and design we have now submitted our Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) planning application. Further information on how to comment on this application can be found below.
