JUST eight wind turbine jackets for a huge wind farm 10 miles off the Fife coast will be built at local yards crying out for work, unions said today.

Reports that the Neart Na Gaoithe is commissioning such a small volume of work from Scottish yards were received as the latest blow for the troubled BiFab company.

The yards at Burntisland and Methil were occupied by workers in 2017 after being threatened with closure.
