The Scottish Parliament in Holyrood, Edinburgh

ONSHORE WIND: The Scottish Greens have laid out plans for a new deal for Scotland’s wind energy supply.

The party’s manifesto includes pledges to replace existing turbines with newer, more powerful models and to double the size of the industry, which it says will help to create thousands of jobs.

Co-leader Patrick Harvie said: “Scotland can be a leader in renewable energy, but only if we invest in it. Our future depends on it.”
