If they're worried about water cooling, two options.

Looking at that datacenter map, there's only one datacenter in Scotland, and it's not on the River Tay.

Most users are probably in the south of England, but it looks like the River Tay is the largest river by rate of flow in the UK:

I'm sure that it'd be preferable in terms of users to have them in the south of England, but if they're doing AI stuff, they may not need a whole lot of bandwidth to users relative to number-crunching power.

Another possibility is cooling with saltwater.

At least the ones on the north east coast are close to the wind farms.

The ones around London are in the worst place imaginable. We all know the state of Thames water, and it's got the least excess power. Scottish wind farms keep on getting curtailed at great expense. We literally have power to spare up there, but I expect it's the financial services firms saying they need low latency links to the financial markets.

We're a country with a gambling addiction.
