Work to remove electricity pylons begins
WORK to remove the last of about 300 redundant electricity transmission towers from a national park, as part of a £600m energy project, has begun.
The towers are being taken down in the Cairngorms National Park as part of the upgrading of the 137-mile Beauly to Denny power line.
The final phase of removing 84 towers is between Aviemore and Kingussie.
New towers were built in parts of the park and between Aviemore and Kingussie, new underground electricity distribution cables have been installed.
