I've not noticed any noise during the 4 site visits we've made. The nearest farm is just obsucred by a hill opposite, but a good mile or more away so presumably provides some sound insulation. Perhaps if the wind direction changes or speed increases...I hadn't thought of that, but it's too late now! 😆 Will look in to JML, thanks. I was looking at HH, but based on your posts, they're now lower down the list.

Stratherrick, to the southeast of Loch Ness, squeezed in between all the wind farms! Can't currenlty see any turbines, but I suspect that will change as more are added.

Hello Wonderful Forum! My wife and I have just had an offer accepted a plot for a self build in Inverness-shire. First time self builders. Gulp! I've already spent more time than might be considered healthy browsing through the vast quantities of information here and am simultaneously terrified by it and loving it....I suspect once we start paying bills it may tilt more towards the terrifying 😁. Ideally we'd like to build something to Passive standards, perhaps timber frame, warmcell (or other non-petrochemical insulation), and timber clad. Traditional long-house style appeals...hoping to contract TF company to wind & watertight then project manage the rest myself. Currently looking for an architect and trying to get our heads around budget. Any recommendations for professionals and trades in the Inverness area will be very welcome. Dunc.
