On Tuesday 15th May, Digital Scotland came to Birkhill to celebrate the upgrade to faster fibre broadband through the £428 million Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband rollout. Each week the programme, one of the largest broadband infrastructure projects in Europe, reaches more remote and rural areas.

Local people need to sign up for the new, faster services with an internet service provider, as upgrades are not automatic. To help promote the fact that fibre is widely available across Angus the Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband team were out in Birkhill and Muirhead this week. They were joined by pupils from Birkhill Primary School and Kirsty Macari (Angus Council’s economic development officer) to celebrate.
