I note that all of the answers to this point are written by people who
do not live here writing irrationally as apologists for pylons. None
address the fundamental problem of numbers, that for every turbine
there are probably hundreds or thousands of pylons (I've searched but
not been able to find a figure for the number of pylons in Scotland).

"Heading the list of things that most detracted from a visit to the
country were electricity pylons and mobile phone masts followed
closely by wind turbines and telephone poles. (It is not clear if
respondents were aware, when questioned, of the height of wind
turbines.)"

I don't agree with everything written in these links, but some of the
pictures from both sites taken together as putative before and after
do make the eyesore point quite well:

With respect to the Scottish landscape, it's irrational to complain
about wind turbines and have no complaint about pylons.

For example, he moans about the wind turbines on the landscapes he
drives through, but is apparently blind to the pylons, which almost
certainly outnumber the turbines by hundreds or thousands to one. A
turbine is only an eyesore, if you consider it such, I don't really,
at the point of installation. Pylons, in contrast, are all over the
Highlands & Islands, and are a much greater collective eyesore, yet
none of the anti-wind brigade ever complain about them.
