Northern Irish firm Farrans has begun installing the first of 96 turbines at the Kilgallioch Wind Farm site on the border of South Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway.
The scheme is being delivered on behalf of Scottish Power Renewables.

The installation required the use of a 750-tonne crane in order to lift the 120-tonne nacelle 88 metres up to the top tower section.
Features of the Kilgallioch project includes creating 65km of road construction, HV cabling, control building construction and substantial tree clearance.
The scheme got underway in June last year, and is planned for completion in June 2017.
Other wind farm contracts secured by Farrans include the £14.9m Harbunhead Wind Farm project and the £12.7m Goole Fields II.
In addition, the firm was recently awarded the £4.9m Grudie Hydro Scheme in the northwest highlands of Scotland.
