That was built (at the power companies expense) in order to provide coverage over the Whitelees windfarm on Eaglesham moor which was being picked up nicely on the Lowther radar. Lowther displayed at Prestwick Centre has had a chunk cut out of it which encompasses phase 1, 2 and the planned phase 3 which is infilled by Kincardine Bridge.
I doubt Glasgow airport uses it but Prestwick Centre does.
