Manual street lights in Golspie 'save power'

People using a path at night are helping to save energy by turning on street lights manually to illuminate the route, according to a report.

The project in Golspie, in Sutherland, has 23 lights on a timer that gives about 15 minutes to reach either end of the path.

It is part of wider efforts by Highland Council to reduce its lighting costs and power consumption. ............
