An island community-owned wind farm is inviting local groups to apply for a share of the profits.

 

Point and Sandwick Trust is holding a public open day tomorrow (Sat).

 

The event runs from 10am until 4pm at the trusts' office in Knock Old School in Point.

 

Three turbines on crofters grazings outside Stornoway are now generating electricity for the group.

 

It means around £1 million each year for the local community.

 

Staff will be on hand on Saturday to answer questions and give some guidelines on the application process for local organisations who may wish to apply for revenue support.

 

There will also be an exhibition of the Beinn Ghrideag Windfarm construction phase.
