Took the weans a walk away up the back of The Three Towns in Ayrshire where they are installing these big bad boys.

I'm sure that makes sense for some reason but all I can think of is giant comb.

Is it true they make noise? Or were they not running at the time?

We have some quite close (a few miles away) and I've cycled right past them. I've never heard anything from them.

Riding my moped past these and I can tell you they make swooping noises, especially if they're aimed 90 degrees to you. These windmills are quite small and old, however, and are quite low. Its a bit intimidating seeing something that massive moving that fast, that close.

They make a rainbow though
