Motorists have been warned of two months of disruption as huge wind turbine parts are delivered via convoys to the Highlands.

The abnormal load deliveries, accompanied by a police escort, are due to start on Monday, July 11, and will last until the end of August.

They will be heading for Corriemoillie Wind Farm near Aultguish, which is being built by EDF Energy.

The energy firm is erecting 19 turbines, which are around 410ft high, on the site and anticipates it will be operational next year.

It believes the facility will generate enough electricity to power approximately 33,900 homes.

EDF Energy Renewables project manager Andrew Russell said: "Our main priority is to cause as little disruption to road users as possible.

"We use a specialist haulage company with extensive experience in transporting very large loads like these turbine parts. We have already carried out two trial runs which went smoothly."

Turbine blades and steel tower sections are being transported from the port at Invergordon, with other elements being brought from Hull via Perth.

All deliveries will travel on the A9 from both Perth and Invergordon to the Tore Roundabout and then on the A835 from Tore to Aultguish.

EDF Energy said deliveries are expected to be made on selected days between Monday to Saturday, while material from Invergordon will be driven in three-vehicle abnormal load convoys.
