What looks like an oil rig has appeared on the horizon looking out from Auckengill, wondering if anyone knows if it's there to stay or if it will disappear again?

I can see it from my house as well and wondered what it was.

Thanks!

Is it the one off Lybster that you are talking about - it was first proposed a while ago and I'd heard it was actually happening. See
