Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

Whitelee is the largest onshore wind farm in the UK, spread across Eaglesham Moor south of Glasgow with 215 turbines turning above the peat. You can drive up to the visitor centre and then walk or cycle a big network of tracks across the moor, around 130km of them, so it doubles as an unlikely but genuinely good bit of open country. Free to visit; the trails are open year-round.
