The children of Auchtertool made this video to tell us how they feel about the hyper scale data center planned for our village. Please take a few minutes to watch it.
But this isn't an Auchtertool problem - it's a Scottish one.
The proposed data centre would need roughly half the power currently used by every home in Scotland combined. Who is paying to build all that extra capacity?
It would also swallow huge amounts of water, and take much-needed farming land out of the food chain, which we all rely on.
And to be clear - this isn't about being "anti-Al". A data centre like this powers the everyday: your photo storage, your online shopping, and yes, Al too. The question isn't whether we need infrastructure. It's how we build it safely, and sustainably. And how the people of Scotland benefit from it.
At this scale, the only obvious winner is the developer. It's not obvious what the tangible benefits are for the people of Scotland.
If you think a project this big deserves to be properly thought through, visit our village website to find out more and object.

Can you imagine the terror and horror Israel inflicts on Palestinian children, women, and men in detention centers when the cameras are away?
This is Israeli terrorism.
