In The Autumn.

21st of August, and I am trying to remember what was doing on the croft then some years ago. The stack-yard would have quite a few head of large hay-stacks, but before all the ricks were hauled in the binders would be getting attention, it being time to start the corn, now getting ripe.

The binder was indeed a remarkable piece of machinery , not much evident on crofts, here, till the late 50s or early 60s, and a revolutionary addition to the simple macines already in evidence during past years. this machine cut the corn, measured it into sheves, then tied them with twine and ejected a beautifully completed sheaf; a boon to the working life of the crofter. The corn cutting season would go on well into september, even in the best weather. The next event would be the potato harvesting in October.

In those days there wasn't any mention of atmosphere pollution, and certainly I must say, there was no evidence and no knowledge. It was intersting to read recently of the construction of a huge wind turbine, to be placed at one of the disuesed oilfields (Beaterice ) I believe. This turbine is capable of generating electricity to supply a city the size of Aberdeen. Dare I say that Scotland is going to be the Wind capital of Europe.

One turbine to power Aberdeen!!!!!!!Thanks for telling us about this miricle but I would suggest your facts are very very wrong.

Stuart from Oban


the population of aberdeen must have agreed to cut their energy consumption to 5mw - i think victor meldrew would have a chance to use his catch phrase - "i dont believe it".

Jamie from Perth


Seems they're confident of generating one Gigawatt of electricity, Jamie. You can read the story here ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/5264364.stm

hi anne of the bright lights. i don't believe all I read on the 成人快手 - do you? i am absolutely confident that I don't need to read as single word to know that the suggestion that a single turbine will power aberdeen untrue. I refer to the island wanderer's belief that : " It was interesting to read recently of the construction of a huge wind turbine, to be placed at one of the disused oilfields (Beaterice ) I believe. This turbine is capable of generating electricity to supply a city the size of aberdeen."------- ------ island wanderer seems to think its possible for a single turbine to power aberdeen !!!!!

That wind turbine must blow lots of hot air.

That'll be a Blair turbine then............

Flying Cat from a husting


Appropriate name. Good for you, FC.

Ok, right, 200 hundred of the worlds largest turbines could power a city the size of Aberdeen rather than just the one turbine. I wonder if that means this massive proposal will power the annual consumption of Aberdeen or will does it mean it might only power a city on the few occasions when those 200 turbines are working at full power? Its always difficult to work out what they are talking about when they use terms like city rather than average annual output. Anyone got any idea about how close to the truth the claim is on an annual basis?
