The Herald turns 240 in 2023 and, to mark the anniversary, we are offering our best subscription deal to date - giving you full access to The Herald for one year for just £24.
On January 27, in 1783, the first edition of The Herald hit the stands and since then it has delivered quality, trusted news to the people of Scotland and beyond.
While marking the date, we are not standing still and, with a new editor at the helm, will continue to write stories that matter and which our readers can trust.

"This year, we will be looking back a great deal," said editor Catherine Salmond. "We will reflect on the major news events our teams have covered since 1783. We will talk to former colleagues, delve into our archives and reflect on Scotland’s past and our place in the fabric of its society.
"But we will also be looking ahead and continue to this tradition of exceptional journalism across a range of digital and social platforms and in print.
Today we mark our 240th anniversary.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
