Trial access to The Scotsman, 1817-2002 (ProQuest Historical Newspapers)

UCL has trial access to The Scotsman, 1817-2002 via ProQuest Historical Newspapers until 5th February 2025.

The Scotsman was established as a liberal weekly to challenge the establishment’s dominance of Edinburgh’s press. With a commitment to “impartiality, firmness, and independence,” the newspaper quickly rose to prominence for its bold reporting and objective stance. Transitioning to a daily in 1855, The Scotsman has since covered significant historical moments, from the Highland Clearances and the Industrial Revolution to world wars and the RMS Lancastria disaster.
