Neart Na Gaoithe

Neart Na Gaoithe

In February 2009, Mainstream Renewable Power was awarded exclusive rights to develop Neart Na Gaoithe (which means “strength of the wind” in Gaelic), a £1.1bn offshore wind farm with a potential capacity of 420 MW in the outer Firth of Forth, some 30 km north of Torness.[1]

In 2011, surveyors conducting a detailed preparatory survey of the sea floor published sonar images of the wrecks of the two submarines - K-4 and K-17 - sunk during the Battle of May Island in 1918.[2]
