We are a large Stirling based community group with members from Braco to Denny whose main aim is to prevent the building of an extra high voltage overhead power line from Ullapool to Denny until all options have been fully explored. If built, this line would irrevocably damage Scotland and its people and, ironically, could impede effective renewable energy production for many years.

If you share our concerns and would like to get involved - or if you would like further information about the campaign - please contact us.

The Minister will make a decision on Beauly to Denny before the end of this year (as promised). However, this decision will not be made public until some time after the start of Parliament next year (some date after January 6th 2010).

As explained on the News page, the 6-volume report on the 2007 Public Inquiry is now being considered by Scottish Ministers, who will take a final decision on the Beauly-Denny power line proposals some time during 2009. We urge all our supporters to contact their MSPs, or the MSPs for Stirling (Bruce Crawford) and Ochil (Keith Brown) constituencies, to remind them how strongly we oppose the power line proposals. We have produced a post card stating this, which is available from a number of outlets in the Stirling area. Alternatively, download a letter version of this post card, fill in your details, and send it your MSP, or Keith Brown MSP, or Bruce Crawford MSP, at the Scottish Parliament.
