Please hit the "Make a Public Comment" and object! Even something as simple as:-

"I object to this planning application on the grounds that the turbine is far too large and is out of scale with the local landscape and also that it is inappropriately isolated in open countryside rather than being as close as safely and technically possible to the premises it is intended to serve."

Finally, just in case there are any remaining doubts, the turbines planned for these sites are made in the Canary Islands by Aerogeneradores Canaria S.A. (not Campbeltown),

windturbine type A27/225kW. This is a photograph of one under construction (taken from the companies own web site - note the size of the Transit type vans at the base):-

and here is a scale drawing of one, shown against some typical buildings:-

These turbines are huge!
