Councillor Campbell on behalf of the Comhairle accepted a cheque of £9700 from Angus Monk as a contribution from Scottish and Southern Energy towards the purchase and installation of the turbine.
The 2.5kw turbine, named Gael in a school competition

Pupils were congratulated for their huge achievement and for their innovative ideas with respect to conserving energy.

As a school we wish to express our sincere thanks to Scottish and Southern energy not only for sponsoring the wind turbine but also for providing t-shirts for the competition winners as well as badges and pencils for all pupils
