EIGHT wind turbines could soon be towering more than 150ft above the Mearns.
Intelligent Land Investments has applied for permission to erect the turbines on 167ft towers between Netherley and Laurencekirk.
The firm, based at Hamilton, has submitted eight separate applications for the project and these will be considered by councillors at a later date.
If approved, the structures would be built on land west of Ambleside, Netherley; Brucewells, Netherley; Upper Wyndings, Fetteresso; land south of Upper Powburn, Fordoun; Waterlair, Fordoun; land south-east of Scotston and at Gossesslie Farm, Laurencekirk; and at Caldhame Farmhouse, Luthermuir.
Anyone who wants to make their views known has until November 10 to do so.
