EXCLUSIVE: Outlander star Sam Heughan reveals why he is 'against AI' and data centres "I was told recently that Dumfries and Galloway, which is my home region, is going to have the biggest data centre. And I asked local politicians again, is this really what we want to be known for? And they told me, no, it's fine. And that the locals are happy. And I thought, well, the locals probably don't know about it, and the ones that do are probably not happy. "There have been over 15 community groups that have come together. The campaigners in the Lammermuirs are so eloquent - and they've never done this before. They've never stood up and protested or had a voice. And I think it's unfair to put the pressure on local communities to do to do this. “I think the people of Scotland don't want these data centres. The landowners do and the developers do, but the local communities, when they find out, and a lot of them don't find out till very late. I didn't find out about mine here at Bishopbriggs till quite late. And actually, there has been very little press about it here. "It feels underhand, and it feels like the local communities don't want them.” 👇
