The northwest boundary of the moorland atop Curlethney Hill is formed by the southwestern flanks of Craggie Cat, a nearby peak.
Waters within the Red Moss are decidedly acidic, with measured summer pH values in the range of 5.67.
The southwest flanks of Curlethney Hill drain to Cowton Burn, a tributary of the Cowie Water.
Each turbine would reach a height of 70 metres above grade level, and the entire complex could generate enough power to supply the equivalent of 5000 homes.
Environmental concerns over the proposal include noise pollution, visual impact[3] and ecological disturbance.
