Countryside communities protest 180-foot 'super pylons'

There is growing opposition to giant electricity pylons that will stretch for 66 miles from Aberdeenshire to Angus through prime farmland.
At 180 feet high, the towering steel structures are the equivalent of more than 12 double decker buses stacked on top of each other.
Those living along the proposed route say they will fight to protect prime farmland and hope people power can force Scottish and Southern Energy to switch its plans.
But the energy giant said the development is vital to transmit green energy and fulfil net zero targets.
Ralph Young built his home 18 months ago in the peaceful, picturesque countryside near Edzell.
But the stunning scenery he looks out on could soon be spoiled by giant pylons.
