Stranraer - also known as "The Toon" - is located in the Dumfries and Galloway region in the south of Scotland.
Thanks to its location on the Irish Sea, Glaick Farm is an ideal site for a wind turbine.
Its name comes from Scottish Gaelic and means “the broad headland” - fitting, since the wind here almost never stops blowing.
The town of Stranraer is known for Stranraer Castle, built around 1511.
Today, the skyline is defined by bright white and colourful buildings overlooking the coast.
The installation of the WES 250 wind turbine at Glaick Farm took place exactly 500 years after the castle was built - in the summer of 2011.
Since then, the turbine has been providing the farm with a steady supply of reliable green energy.
You can't be self-sufficient with just solar energy. Wind energy is also needed. With a small windmill you can supply your farm with energy in the winter months, while solar panels provide the necessary power in the summer months.
