Marketing that thinks. Powered by our own AI, in Scotland.
Digital Agency Scotland combines proven marketing strategy with an in-house AI stack: our own servers, our own models and our own agents, working from live data around the clock to grow your business.
Not another agency renting the same AI as everyone else.
Most "AI agencies" resell subscriptions to the same handful of tools. We built our own. The DAS Core is a private AI stack running on our own hardware in Scotland, with local language, speech and image models, self-hosted automation and in-house agents.
- Your data stays with us, in Scotland. It's never used to train someone else's model.
- No per-seat AI tax. We own the compute, so automation costs less to run.
- Built around your brand. Our agents learn your voice, offers and customers.
- Working 24/7 on live data: search, social, analytics and competitors.
Everything you need to be found, chosen and remembered.
Full-service digital marketing, delivered by people who know the craft and accelerated by AI that never clocks off.

Craig McIntosh started as a network engineer for organisations including IBM, Fujitsu Siemens and DEFRA, then spent two decades building websites and running businesses. He holds a BEng in Computing and an MSc in Marketing from Edinburgh Napier University, is an n8n Ambassador, and designed and built the DAS Core himself.
About Craig & the agency →What does "own-compute AI" actually mean?
Most agencies rent the same AI tools as everyone else and paste your data into them. We run our own AI servers, with our own models, agents and automation, on hardware we own and operate in Scotland. Your projects are processed on that stack by default.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Work done on the DAS Core stays on our hardware and is never used to train a third-party model. If a task would benefit from a specialist cloud service, we tell you first and only use it with your agreement.
Do real people still work on my account?
Yes. Craig and the team set the strategy, review the work and are your point of contact. The AI handles the heavy lifting (research, drafting, monitoring, reporting) so the humans can focus on judgement and results.
Which businesses do you work with?
Small and medium-sized businesses across Scotland and the UK: trades, professional services, hospitality, e-commerce, coaches, creators and B2B firms that want more leads with less admin.
How much does a website cost?
Most small-business websites fall between £1,200 and £4,000, depending on pages, features and design. Use our website cost calculator for an instant estimate.
