Construction began on the main civils work for Lairg II Windfarm on the 6th May 2025.
Construction began for a temporary running surface at the location of the old Sutherland Arms Hotel on Main Street, Lairg on the 10th September 2025.
Construction works to facilitate the delivery of abnormal loads began in April 2026.
Due to the size of the components needed for the wind farm there will undoubtedly be some disruption to travel arrangements for local communities and Lairg II Windfarm would like to assure communities that all efforts are being made to keep this to an absolute minimum.
The transport of the turbine components is carried out by experienced hauliers using extremely specialist vehicles that travel at low speeds on certain routes. These vehicles are able to carry the long components to traverse the roads to site and avoid walls, street furniture and vegetation where possible.
Due to the size of the turbine components, they are classified as abnormal loads and must be escorted by specially trained Police Scotland officers.
Abnormal load delivery update:
Abnormal deliveries for blades and towers began in July 2026. Please see below for the specific schedule. Please be aware all delivery dates are subject to police confirmation.
Our first trial delivery run was completed on the 21st May 2026, and a second trial run was completed on the 26th June.
Follow our Facebook for regular updates on deliveries, and links to a GPS tracker so you can follow the progress of the delivery convoys live and plan your journeys accordingly.
Offsite road works update:
Works on the corner of the site of the old Sutherland Arms Hotel in Lairg began on 10th September 2025.
Other offsite road works began in April 2026.
Please note these timings are estimates.

Please see below a draft, indicative plan showing the expected route for deliveries of abnormal loads to site.
The components are manufactured with the final road journey taken into account as much as possible. After disembarking from ships at Nigg port, road is the only realistic option for the turbine components due to their size, shape and weight
Only certain sizes and types of road are suitable for the transport of components due to their size and weight, so the roads that can be used for delivery are limited.
This can be found above once we have finalised the delivery schedules and will be updated regularly should there be any changes. Lairg II Windfarm understands that there is disruption to local traffic and thoroughly appreciate the patience of local residents that are inconvenienced during the transport phase.
In any case of emergency services trying to get by the convoy the driver will move aside to let them pass. In addition, all 999 services are made aware of these abnormal load movements and in the event of a 999 call their respective control rooms would be in touch with each other over where the load is and they will co-ordinate vehicle movements accordingly. This co-ordination is made more efficient as our abnormal load convoys are escorted by police.
While the roads are not technically closed during the abnormal load deliveries, there will be delays and passing opportunities are limited. We appreciate and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We recommend you consult the route map and timetable on the website that show delivery movements and we hope this can be useful in planning various appointments.
Some of the road works carried out to accommodate the turbines will need to be worked on again. Where possible these works will be done under traffic lights and only where absolutely necessary will there be any road closures. More information will be posted on this page when these works will be required and updated regularly.
