Overview [link]

The paper is one of the world's oldest continuously-published English-language newspapers, first published on 27 January 1783 as the Glasgow Advertiser, from Duncan's Land, Gibson's Wynd, Glasgow. Its first editor was John Mennons.

The Herald is owned by Newsquest (a division of Gannett), which acquired it with the purchase of the publishing arm of the Scottish Media Group in 2003 in a highly controversial £216m sale. Prominent columnists writing on the paper include Alison Rowat, Collete Douglas-Home, Ruth Wishart, Anne Johnstone, Ian Bell and Iain Macwhirter. It publishes the quarterly Scottish Review of Books as a supplement in the Saturday Herald.

History [link]

First published on Wednesday 1 January 1783. In 1803 it became 'The Herald and Advertiser and Commercial Chronicle changing to 'The Glasgow Herald' with its Thursday 26 August 1804 edition. It became a daily in 1859. In 1895, publication moved to a building in Mitchell Street designed by John Keppie of whom Charles Mackintosh was an apprentice. The building is now The Lighthouse, an architecture and design centre.

In 1964, publishers George Outram were bought by Sir Hugh Fraser. Ownership was then acquired in 1979 by Tiny Rowland's Lonrho.

On 19 July 1980 the paper moved to offices in Albion Street, a black-fronted building modelled after the Black Lubyanka building of the Daily Express in London's Fleet Street.

The paper became The Herald on 3 February 1992. A management buy-out in May 1992 created Caledonian Newspapers, later purchased by Scottish Television in 1996. After the purchase the TV group renamed itself "Scottish Media Group" which was later shortened to SMG, then in 2008 to STV Group plc.

The title was redesigned and relaunched in the "New Era" relaunch of 11 May 1998. A partner Sunday paper, the Sunday Herald, was launched in 1999.

Donald Martin replaced Charles McGhee in December 2008. He immediately embarked on a cost-cutting programmme which was debated in the Scottish Parliament.

Martin departed without ceremony on 14 May 2010 and was replaced by Acting Editor-in-Chief Richard Walker.

Jonathan Russell assumed editorship of The Herald on 19 July 2010.

    The Herald newspaper nearly lost its publishing licence for using the word "Allah" as a translation for "God," with authorities saying it should only be used by Muslims. The weekly was warned not to print "Allah" in the future, but instead it mounted an ongoing legal challenge to revoke the ban on the word, which is also used in the Malay-language Bible.

    Glasgow

    Coordinates: 55°51′29″N 4°15′32″W / 55.858°N 4.259°W / 55.858; -4.259

    Glasgow (/ˈɡlɑːzɡ, ˈɡlæ-, -s-/ GLA(H)Z-goh, GLA(H)S-goh;Scots: Glesga; Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu [ˈkl̪ˠas̪xu]) is the largest city in Scotland, and the third largest in the United Kingdom (after London and Birmingham). Historically part of Lanarkshire, it is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Inhabitants of the city are referred to as Glaswegians.

    Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies.

    With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was the "Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period, although many cities argue the title was theirs.

    Glasgow (Cambridge, Maryland)

    Glasgow is a historic home located at Cambridge, Dorchester County, Maryland. It is a Federal style, gable-front, 2 12-story brick house built about 1792. Attached is a 1 12-story frame wing dating from the early 20th century. Local history sometimes holds that the home was the birthplace of William Vans Murray, but land records and Murray's biographical data both indicate that it is unlikely that it was ever his home. It is possible, however, that Murray stayed there for some time after his return from his service as foreign minister in the Netherlands, with his first cousin William Murray Robertson, the owner at the time.

    It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

  • Glasgow (Scottish Parliament electoral region)

    Glasgow is one of the eight electoral regions of the Scottish Parliament. Nine of the parliament's 73 first past the post constituencies are sub-divisions of the region and it elects seven of the 56 additional-member Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs). Thus it elects a total of 16 MSPs.

    Constituencies and council areas

    2011–

    As a result of the First Periodic Review of Scottish Parliament Boundaries the boundaries of the region and constituencies were redrawn for the 2011 Scottish Parliament election.

    1999–2011

    In terms of first past the post constituencies the region included:

    The constituencies were created with the names and boundaries of Westminster constituencies, as existing in 1999. Scottish Westminster constituencies were mostly replaced with new constituencies in 2005. Holyrood constituencies were unaltered.

    Nine of the constituencies are entirely within the Glasgow City council area. The Rutherglen constituency includes a north-eastern area of the South Lanarkshire council area. Also, although central with respect to the region and entirely within the city area, Shettleston is in the south-east of the city area, on its boundary with the South Lanarkshire area.
