HIGHLAND politicians are embroiled in a war of words over the progress of a UK Government island wind project.
Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland Lesley Laird wrote to the Scottish secretary last week urging the UK government to bring forward plans to build the proposed Western Isles Radial Connector, commonly referred to as the interconnector.
In the letter, the Labour politician said her party would ‘rural-proof’ all their policies to ensure no communities were left behind.
