Silicon Glen Silicon Glen Silicon Glen is a nickname for the high tech sector of Scotland, the name inspired by Silicon Valley in California. It is applied to the Central Belt triangle between Dundee, Inverclyde and Edinburgh, which includes Fife, Glasgow and Stirling; although electronics facilities outside this area may also be included in the term. The term has been in use since the 1980s. It does not technically represent a "glen" as it covers a much wider area than just one valley. Silicon Glen had its origins in the electronics business with Ferranti establishing a plant in Edinburgh in 1943. NCR
