Whitelee Visitor Centre and Wind Farm

East Renfrewshire

Whitelee is the UK's largest onshore windfarm, located on Eaglesham Moor just 20 minutes from central Glasgow. Its 215 turbines generate up to 539 megawatts of electricity, enough to power just under 300,000 homes. With more than 130 kilometres of trails to explore, on foot, by cycle or by horse, with free parking and free entry to our onsite Visitor Centre, Whitelee is a great destination for a day out with the whole family.

Whitelee Windfarm by it’s nature links to the themes of scientific knowledge and technological innovations.  As the UK’s largest onshore windfarm, people will get the chance to explore and learn for themselves how we’re using technology to power the future.

The Exhibition has fantastic hands-on interactive activities. If you were building a windfarm would you know where to place the turbines? Do you know what wind is and why it blows? Feel the power of the wind without even stepping outside, investigate this and much more!
