Mark Stephen assesses the social impact of Cockenzie Power Station on the communities of Cockenzie and Port Seton.

On 26th September 2015, the two chimneys of the Cockenzie Power Station in East Lothian were blown up. They've been a landmark in the community for almost 50 years, used by pilots and fisherman to navigate their way home. But ultimately, the pollution created by the coal fired power station was no longer acceptable in 21st Century Scotland.

In this edition of Our Story, Mark Stephen assesses the social impact of the power station on the communities of Cockenzie and Port Seton and finds that their existence is a very divisive and emotive subject.
