I live in North Wales so can confirm it's pretty windy here and we have a few onshore wind farms around here too. We've also a few decent-sized wind farms just off the coast like Gwynt y Mor.
The Scotland thing is interesting as there's definitely issues with transmission constraints over the B6 boundary, though there's still benefits to building more wind farms for local consumption and/or storage as more batteries (especially) and pumped hydro capacity is added to the mix. Plus the National Grid have plans to expand capacity through to 2030 but I had to admit that's at the limit of my knowledge.
