## Resource

Highland Council has slammed SSEN Transmission’s plan for a 186-kilometer power line from Peterhead to Beauly, calling the proposed 97-meter pylons — taller than Big Ben and The Kelpies — an environmentally reckless and visually devastating choice. Critics argue the project, part of a £22 billion national upgrade, treats the Highlands as expendable, ignoring landscape, heritage sites like Culloden, and local communities. While other councils are divided, Highland’s unanimous objection underscores growing frustration over rushed infrastructure decisions that prioritize cost over community and environmental impact — and the final decision remains pending a public inquiry.
