High levels of wind in the Southern Uplands of Scotland mean it is a good area in which to locate wind farms, a renewable energy source. Wind farms use the power of the wind to turn turbines and generate electricity. A wind turbine is explained using a windmill toy. The wind catches the blades and turns them around. Exposed hilly areas are good places in which to locate wind farms, as there is nothing to block the wind blowing on the turbines.
