Who we are and what we do

Views of Scotland is an association of people from all over Scotland and elsewhere, with this common belief:

That the case for wind power is seriously flawed from a scientific, economic and political perspective. Construction of wind power stations is causing unjustifiable and irreversible damage to some of Scotland’s greatest assets, which include:

• landscape heritage and wilderness areas
• ecosystems including wildlife habitats
• archaeological heritage

What we do

• gather and analyse available data on the scientific, economic, political, health and safety and aesthetic aspects of wind energy developments
• keep up-to-date with developments and news in these areas
• produce specialist subject reports on technical aspects
• provide an information resource and central point of contact for campaign groups
• give evidence to local and national government enquiries
• lobby politicians
• liaise with and provide information to national environmental and related interest groups
• hold annual conferences
• produce newsletters and briefing notes for members
• respond to requests for information from the public
• handle media relations, provide press comment and releases
• keep in touch with with national and international wind action groups
