Leave Our Hills Alone

Standing Up for Scotland’s Hills, Glens, and Communities

Leave Our Hills Alone is a community led group, formed first to save Dalmacallan and Glencairn from Vestas’ wind farm proposal, and further to protect rural landscapes, wildlife, and local communities from inappropriate large scale energy developments. We believe that climate action must not come at the cost of environmental destruction, loss of democratic participation, or irreversible harm to the places people call home. Across Scotland, hills and glens are being targeted for industrial wind farms, battery storage sites, solar parks, access roads, substations, and grid infrastructure. These developments are often proposed with limited scrutiny, rushed consultation, and claims that do not fully reflect their long term environmental and social impacts. We exist to challenge this approach and to ensure that communities have a clear, informed, and united voice.
