Let's not get too carried away. These are 27 metres high - domestic/farm-scale turbines - on someone's croft land. It's really nothing to get excited about. Plenty examples of these - and higher ones - ON airfields elsewhere.

As to the CAA response, all this is saying is that they don't comment any more (a) because safeguarding is the responsibility of the aerodrome operator (Highland Council in this case) and (b) because the number of wind turbine applications is so large that they can't possibly respond to them all.

As for ruining the view, you'll need binoculars to even notice them unless you're within a few hundred metres.
