Our Luggie's Knowe wind turbine site outside Lerwick regularly picks up the Northern Lights (known locally as the Mirrie Dancers) in the night vision of our CCTV. A good shot from January 2021.
Luggie was a supposed wizard, possibly a version of Loki, from old Shetland tales who could catch fish (some say ready boiled) from this spot through a hole in the rock. Then some Scalloway folk burned him at the stake.
Knowe means hillock or knoll.
Local energy company Shetland Aerogenerators Ltd has submitted a planning application to the Shetland Islands Council. Shetland Aerogenerators is also exploring routing community benefit payments from the development into schemes such as Hjaltland Housing Association’s existing Fuel Vouchers scheme, which will help some people experiencing fuel poverty to pay their energy bills.
