Whitlee Wind Farm is on the Eaglesham Moor in Scotland. It is the largest on-shore wind farm in the UK and the second largest in Europe with 215 Siemens and Alstom turbines that have a total capacity of 539 megawatts. Due to its close proximity to Glasgow it is one of the first examples of a large scale wind farm in close proximity to a large population. The wind farm is an impressive site and epic to cycle through. The Isle of Arran can be seen in the background on a clear day. Beneath the wind farm sits an extensive network of great quality gravel tracks to work your way through.

Based in Eaglesham This is really our 🚲 playground. Just so many options on great Gravel. Once you get beyond the fab LochGoin circuit - don’t expect to see (sometimes anyone ) many others . TIP ; Pick up a Windfarm map , available at either the Visitors Centre ( great Coffee ☕️, Soups, Eats and snacks & helpful staff) Similarly Kate, Fiona & Nick the Whitelee Rangers. If Centre/Rangers office closed there are maps at the Info board beside the Blade Display. Because believe me - even after Years of 🚲 around Whitelee - 1 turbine just looks the same as the Hundreds !. However they are all numbered and with the Map 👍. Hoping that 2025 there might be regular Cycle Meets - So watch this space 🤓.

P.S. The MTB trails up beside the Turbine 53. No great distance from Visitors Centre - Are a fun test of Bike skills - Expect Youngsters to be sharper at picking up the 🚲🚲skills + there are several shelters, Ideal for picnic ( Please -Just take your rubbish away
