Electrifying Eigg

The islanders of Eigg are set to switch on their own mains electricity tomorrow. The weather is going to be abysmal, but if you keep an eye on the BBC (BBC Scotland, Highlands & Islands in particulary), you'll see the festivities. Meanwhile, here is an image sent by one of the leading people in the island, of the windturbines at Grulin. No, Grulin has been derelict for 170 years. The peak in the distance stands 1350 feet high, as seen from about 300 feet above sealevel. Sorry, I know Eigg like the back of my hand.
