ESB has renamed its 500MW floating project off the coast of Shetland Stoura Wind Farm, replacing the old name of Sealtainn.
The move follows a competition among local Shetland primary school children to choose a new name.
The word Stoura in Shetland dialect can mean windy or can also mean wide open space.
The name is used for several local landmarks including Stoura Stack, a rocky outcrop in the Out Skerries islands, the closest part of Shetland to the proposed wind farm.
The naming competition was held among all Shetland primary school children from 19 September to 8 October.
Entries were judged by four locals with confirmation from an expert the winning name is Shetland dialect.
The overall winner, who attends Bells Brae Primary School in Lerwick, has generously decided to share the £1250 prize fund with their classmates and a local charity.
The ESB have matched this generosity with a donation of their own.
Project director for Stoura Wind Farm Cian Desmond said: “We were blown away by the quality of entries from the young Shetlanders.
“This made the task of selecting an overall winner very difficult. In the end, we are delighted with the name Stoura which has strong links to the local landscape, Shetland dialect and the windy, exposed nature of the site.”
The Shetland dialect has both Nordic and Scottish roots and is a valued and essential element of the distinctive heritage and culture of the islands.
As a primarily spoken language, the spelling and interpretation of words can vary across the islands.
