Late November 2004

The windmills themselves were delivered to Gigha last week and the first job was to have them cleaned up ready for their erection.  Being Scotlands first community owned windfarm, it was fitting that the folk of Gigha turned out to help in the cleaning process.

Here Vie and Caroline get to work on scrubbing up the main sections of the turbine tower.  Note the weather - the sun ALWAYS shines on Gigha!

Even the most difficult areas of the blades had to be reached to ensure they were spotlessly clean.  Anyone tell me who this is?  I think its John Earnshaw but I could be completely wrong.

And there they all are - spick and span and ready for their introduction to the winds of Gigha.  Now, all that we need is a calm day, an enormous crane and a bit of luck we'll be generating the finest power in Scotland!!
