Area Profiles - Moray

Moray covers a vast, diverse and beautiful area stretching from the foothills of the Cairngorms to the coastal splendour of the eastern Moray Firth.

Moray is home to the world famous malt whisky trail, Moray Firth dolphins, two major Royal Air Force bases including 617 (Dambusters) Squadron at RAF Lossiemouth and the Nimrods at RAF Kinloss while world-class food, drink and textiles are also manufactured in the Moray area.

Wind power has been the predominant renewable energy technology to gain a foothold in Moray. The expansion of the Paul's Hill wind farm, near Charleston of Abelour, will see this site alone being capable of producing 65MW, sufficient to fulfil the annual domestic electricity needs of 47,300 households.
