Scotland (/ˈskɒt.lənd/; Scots: [ˈskɔt.lənd]; Scottish Gaelic: Alba [ˈal̪ˠapə]) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and covers the northern third of the island of Great Britain. It shares a border with England to the south, and is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to the east and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the south-west. In addition to the mainland, the country is made up of more than 790 islands, including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides.
Edinburgh, the country's capital and second-largest city, was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which transformed Scotland into one of the commercial, intellectual, and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, was once one of the world's leading industrial cities and now lies at the centre of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. Scottish waters consist of a large sector of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the largest oil reserves in the European Union. This has given Aberdeen, the third-largest city in Scotland, the title of Europe's oil capital.

Scotland wants to be entirely reliant renewable energy. The Shetland Islands have already found a way to generate electricity from its strong winds and water resources. But as Natalie Poyhonen tells us, the islands are sitting on an another treasure, which could complicate things.

This short film, narrated by scientist and TV presenter Heather Reid at Whitelees Windfarm, explores the opportunities for using the power of the wind, waves and tides in Scotland to produce energy. Heather speaks to Laura Watson, an engineer with Scottish Renewables, who explains how wind and tidal turbines works and the difficulties of using these turbines including selecting the best location and under-water maintenance. Tom Wills, an engineer from Aquamarine, explains how his company's new Oyster technology converts wave energy into power. Storms in the Scottish sea are just one of the challenges they face.

INVERNESS, SCOTLAND — The world’s first large-scale tidal energy farm will soon be installed off the Scottish coast. Four turbines, measuring up to 16 meters tall with 8-meter-long blades will be installed off the northern coast of Scotland between Caithness and Orkney in the initial phase of the project. “I am incredibly proud of Scotland’s role in leading the way in tackling climate change and investment in marine renewables is a hugely important part of this,” the Guardian quoted Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland as saying. According to the Guardian, developer Atlantis Resources hopes to install a total of 269 turbines, a move that could provide energy for 175,000 homes. According to the Scottish Government, the country holds one quarter of the Europe’s offsh...
Originally published September 23, 2013 Scotland plans to build Europe's largest tidal energy project in the Pentland Firth, between Orkney and the Scottish mainland. According to Reuters, "MeyGen Limited, a joint venture between investment bank Morgan Stanley, utility International Power and tidal technology firm Atlantis Resources Corporation, will install the 86-megawatt (MW) tidal array in stages, starting with a 9 MW demonstration project. "'When fully operational, the 86 megawatt array could generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 42,000 homes - around 40 per cent of homes in the Highlands,' said Fergus Ewing, Scotland's energy minister. "'This exciting development in the waters around Orkney is just the first phase for a site that could eventually yield up to 398 ...
Scotland has some of the best natural offshore renewable energy resources. Our coastal seas a offshore waters provide perfect conditions for the development of commercialisation of wind and tidal renewable energy technology.
The fast flowing tides in the Pentland Firth make it an excellent source of tidal energy, if tough offshore conditions can be mastered.

PETERHEAD, SCOTLAND — Scotland's notoriously strong winds could pan out to be a blessing in disguise after the Scottish government recently approved plans for a floating wind farm right off of the Scottish coast. According to the Guardian, Statoil, a Norwegian energy company, plans to build a floating wind farm 15 miles off the coast of Peterhead, Scotland by the end of 2017. The floating wind farm, called the Hywind floating wind farm, will consist of five, 258-meter-high floating wind turbines. Each will have a floating steel tube filled with ballast as their base and they will be tethered to the seafloor by three moorings. Each of the five wind turbines will have a six-megawatt capacity, and together they will be able to power an estimated 20,000 homes. Because they're not actually ...

Wave Energy Scotland (WES) takes an innovative approach to supporting the development of wave technology. WES aims to support and accelerate the development of wave energy technology in Scotland and was established as part of Highlands and Islands Enterprise, at the request of the Scottish Government, during December 2014. WES will provide funding packages for the development of innovative technologies to produce low cost, efficient and reliable components and subsystems which can form the basis of the cost effective generation of wave energy in Scotland. This video is a recording of a live webinar held on 31 March 2015 to provide more information on WES as an entity and support those who wish to apply to this project call for secondary energy conversion technologies (Power Take-off Sys...
