THIS IS TO BE A PEACEFUL PROTEST FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Our aim is to let the SNP know that we have had enough of their industrial turbines, their disregard of the Scottish people and their destruction of our precious scenery.
We need everyone to make A LOT OF NOISE so they have to listen to us.
Bring whistles, loud hailers, drums, pipes, saucepans and loud voices! Let the Highland people be heard alongside the rest of Scotland.
America’s Wind Wise Radio are asking Alex Salmond to receive, at the protest, their petition:
'Stop The Reckless Siting of Wind Turbines in Scotland’s Scenic Landscapes'
Please go to their website WindWiseRadio.org and add your name to the thousands of others that already have.
FIGHTING THE SPIN OF THE TURBINES, THE INDUSTRY, SCOTTISH RENEWABLES & THE GOVERNMENT
