Argyll Infrastructure Holdings Ltd (AIH), Scotland's pioneering force in artificial intelligence infrastructure, today confirmed an initial capital raise of 15 million pounds,  with negotiations continuing for a further 100 million pounds that is  expected  to be made available within the next 3 to 6 months.

This strategic investment marks the beginning of an ambitious plan that will see AIH's AI infrastructure grow to rapidly within the next two years, positioning Scotland at the forefront of the European AI revolution.

Argyll Data Development has entered into a strategic partnership with SambaNova to deliver the UK’s first renewable-powered sovereign AI inference cloud, hosted at the Killellan AI Growth Zone on Scotland’s Cowal Peninsula.

The 184-acre Killellan campus is being developed as a green digital hub, powered by a mix of on-site wind, wave, solar, biogas and waste-to-energy generation. A private-wire network and long-duration battery storage will supply firm, low-carbon power directly to the data centre, with waste heat captured and reused across the site for applications such as vertical farming, aquaculture and local heat loads.

Our ambition is both bold and focused: to position Argyll, Scotland as a globally recognised centre for artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and digital innovation. By leveraging our unique geographic advantages, cultivating world-class partnerships, and embedding sustainability at every level, we aim to deliver a landmark project that will elevate Scotland’s economic profile and technological leadership on the world stage.
