Progress updates on mast sites
The Scottish Government’s Scottish 4G Infill Programme (S4GI) is a £28.75 million initiative which has delivered 4G infrastructure and services in 55 mobile “notspots” in rural and island parts of Scotland. S4GI was delivered in partnership with WHP Telecoms, Cellnex UK and the Scottish Futures Trust, and was part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to support activity in the Highlands and Islands.
We are pleased to report that mast build and 4G activation within the programme has been completed. Please see information about which mobile network operators are providing services on each of the S4GI masts in the table below.
We will continue to update this website as further mobile network operators’ 4G service is added to further S4GI masts.

Removals from the S4GI Programme
Regrettably, during the course of the build programme, we had no option but to remove the following previously proposed candidate sites from the Scottish 4G Infill Programme. With the following exceptions, this is because no mobile network operators committed to using them:
* Carrick Castle, Berneray Harbour: removed as commercial services by EE were found to be available in the area.
** Applecross Forest: removed as another mast which is expected to provide 4G services had been constructed in the area
† Pennan: in addition to no MNO interest, planning permission was refused following local opposition.
‡ Muircroft, Cullipool, Charlestown: removed as EE planned to deliver 4G services to these areas on a commercial basis.
