The Issue

Save The Lammermuirs – Stop The Data Centre

A huge industrial-scale data centre is being proposed for the Lammermuir Hills near Longformacus in the Scottish Borders.

The Lammermuirs are one of Scotland's most treasured rural landscapes, known for their wildlife, open moorland, dark skies, hill farming, heritage and tranquillity.

We are asking a simple question:

Why here?

This proposal would introduce a major industrial development into a Special Landscape Area (SLA), raising serious concerns about landscape impact, wildlife, energy demand, infrastructure, light pollution, noise and long-term environmental consequences.

We are not anti-technology and we are not opposed to sustainable development.

However, we believe developments of this scale must be located in the right places, with full transparency, robust scrutiny and clear public benefit.

We believe this proposal is the wrong development in the wrong place.

Join us in calling for the proposed 'Southside Data Centre' to be rejected and for the Lammermuir Hills to be protected for future generations.

Stand with us.  Sign the petition.  Save the Lammermuirs.
