This Black Friday, why not treat yourself to the best analysis, insight, and opinion in Scotland.
For a limited time only, you'll be able to take out a digital subscription with The Herald for as little as £1, giving you instant, unlimited access to our award-winning work.
One pound will allow you to browse our groundbreaking exclusives, interactive analysis, and brainteasing puzzles for three months.
Or if you fancy an early Christmas present, we're giving away a free gift (worth £40) with our annual rate of £99.
But you'll have to hurry - our exclusive offer ends on Cyber Monday (November 29).
How to subscribe
It couldn't be easier to take us up on our Black Friday deal.

In our monthly option, you'll be able to pay just £1 for three months, which will then be billed at £9.99 thereafter.
And with our annual price, you'll pay £99 upfront, which will continue next year at £114.99.

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
