SSE Renewables welcomed Line of Duty actor Martin Compston to the Toddleburn Wind Farm to film a segment for the forthcoming final episode of a new BBC show.
The wind farm will feature in “Martin Compston’s Scottish Fling”, broadcasting on the BBC Scotland channel and BBC Two, across the UK.
Compston and his fellow presenter and friend Phil MacHugh had the opportunity to visit the top of one of the 12 turbines situated at the site between the villages of Heriot and Oxton in the Scottish Borders.
The whole visit was conducted under the watchful eye of the team with film photography being carried out via drone, traditional TV, and Go-Pro cameras.
Executive producer of Martin Compston’s Scottish Fling David Marshall said: “It was great to receive such a warm welcome from the team at Toddleburn.
“We had a lot of fun on this shoot, and I know that Martin and Phil really enjoyed their day too.
“The final piece in the episode comes with something of surprise moment for Phil which I’m sure everyone at SSE will enjoy watching.
“It was clear that everyone presents priority was the safety of the presenters and the crew and I want to thank the team there for their outstanding professionalism.”
SSE Renewables Onshore Wind Farm Regional Manager Roy Sloane said: “It is wonderful to be able to show off what we do in a different kind of media from the usual trade or local newspapers and to bring SSE Renewables’ work to a new audience.
“We had a great day hosting Martin and Phil at Toddleburn back in April. It was something different from the normal workday and I know the team enjoyed getting involved and helping with the filming.”
