By Rory Reynolds

SCOTLAND’S iconic orange-nectar is to go green with the help of new massive wind turbines.

Irn-Bru bosses AG Barr have received planning permission to erect a massive two-megawatt turbine to provide electricity to its Cumbernauld factory.

The 130-year-old firm will be able to generate up to 60 per cent of the factory’s electricity from the huge turbines, which will dominate the 50 acre site.

Roger White, chief executive of AG Barr, said that while idea had been in the pipelines for some years, the firm has only just been given the green light.

He said: “We have gone through a lot of loops and hoops and trial and tribulations on the planning front but we finally got it.
