Cnoc Breac is the 611 ft hill across the glen from our house, it may be small in stature but it's big on views.

Carradale Sub Station

I was lucky enough to get a tour of this a couple of months back. This station can handle 300+ Mw of power yet Kintyre only uses 10Mw, the extra capacity is to handle the outgoing power from Kintyre's three windfarms.

The new track on top left by SSE, goes all the way to Beinn an Tuirc
