Plans by a renewable energy firm to build a solar farm in the Ayrshire countryside have been met with dismay from people living near the proposed site.
French-owned Locogen have earmarked agricultural land to the north of Loch Fergus, 5k south east of Ayr, where they hope to build the solar farm on a 58.2 hectare site.
The firm hope to win permission to change the use of the land to incorporate their 100,000-panel solar farm, which would be roughly equivalent in size to 150 football pitches.
