Fallago Rig Wind Farm

Highlight • Other

Fallago Rig Wind Farm, located in the Lammermuir Hills, is typically closed to the public. However, during the annual Scottish Borders Doors Open Days, usually held in early September, the wind farm offers guided tours. These tours provide a unique opportunity to see the turbines up close, visit the control room, and learn about renewable energy operations. Advance booking is essential, and transportation is provided from nearby villages, as private vehicle access is not permitted. For the latest information on tour dates and booking details, check the official EDF Renewables UK website or local event listings.
