Engineering Work off Stroma - Watercolour, 16 x 26 cm The sea between the island of Stroma and the Mainland has very strong tidal currents, where the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea meet. This has made it an ideal site for the first commercial tidal power generation project in Scotland, and currently the largest in the World. The turbines are in the form of large propellers, similar to wind turbines. It's good to see a World-leading project based here in Scotland, and the Country is well on the way to having most of its energy from renewable sources. I am concerned about the effect on marine life, particularly the whales and dolphins which are often seen in these waters, but I hope the environmental impact is being monitored and taken into account. The ship in the painting was in the process of servicing one of the turbines. Location - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@58.6786532,-3.1498628,12z www.keithtilley.co.uk
