Effect of turbines on film industry

SIR, – I write with reference to windfarm projects near Loch Rannoch (pictured above), Glencoe and that proposed above Kinlochleven.

My business is film production services to global film and TV. I supply scenery backdrop film to the global film industry, while living in and working from Kinlochleven.

Many in the film business say I am blessed with the stunning scenery, with Glencoe on my doorstep, which allows me to capture on film scenic backdrops in all seasons, in all natural lights, weather and so on, as it happens. That is what makes my scenic backdrops special.

the film industry and tourism are the losers. Scotland will lose enormous sums of money in film-related business due to windfarms, with the knock-on effect to tourism on a large scale.

The film industry is the largest global advert for tourism. The SNP government believing that windfarms are better financially than film and tourism is clearly not correct.

The global film industry treasures Scotland’s scenery, which creates long-term jobs in tourism and in film and TV.

Increasing hydro power would be a better way forward for all.
