A 4am start today - totally worth it to capture the beauty of the morning light filming in Lamlash for Arran Community Renewables around Glenkiln, the future location of the solar farm.

Watching the island wake up while documenting a project to help Arran become more sustainable is pretty special.

Today is World Earth Day

“The earth is what we all share.” Wendell Berry

Earth Day is a reminder that the places we love are worth protecting.

Here on the Isle of Arran, we feel that connection every day, to the land, the sea, and the landscapes that shape how we live.

Arran Community Renewables is working towards generating clean energy locally and feeding it into the national grid, with the value created coming back to Arran to support community-led environmental and local projects.

It’s not just about energy. It’s about sharing responsibility for the world we live in, and creating a more sustainable future for Arran, together.

We loved meeting so many of you at our three events:
• The Solar Farm Walk at Glenkiln
• The screening of POWER Film
• The High School event on Saturday

Your questions, feedback, and suggestions were fantastic to hear, and we can take them all forward with us — thank you to everyone of you, for taking the time to talk with us.
