Talking-up Scotland

Owners of the site, Global Energy Group, have released images of the kind of work anticipated, making the steel towers for offshore wind-farms. No job numbers have been confirmed yet but expectations are high as the boom in offshore renewable energy continues. Scotland has 25% of all of Europe’s wind potential and a coastline suitable for marine turbines many times greater than any other European country so it seems a safe bet many more will be built in addition to the already huge floating wind-farms already being built or planned, off the Moray, Kincardineshire and Fife coasts. See these for earlier reports of the energy potential off Scotland’s coast:
