Following an open competition to find a name for Tiree’s turbine, the Board of the Trust decided that he/she/it will be called Tilley, after the tilley lamp, which was a source of light in the past, and our turbine should be a source of light for the future. The competition entries came from young and old, but were judged completely impartially and anonymously. There were many good ideas for names, involving several languages, and including commemorating real people from the past, so it was a difficult choice. The winning idea came from Fiona MacKinnon – well done Fiona. Now, would anyone like to write and illustrate a children’s book about Tilley the Tiree Turbine?
