THE National is still running our fantastic £10 for one year offer to celebrate our 10th anniversary.
Whether you’re looking to hear what our top columnists are saying about the latest news, read brilliant political exclusives or stay up to date with the latest in the independence movement, The National has it all.
As the only pro-Scottish independence newspaper, we are able to ask the questions that matter to you – not only those that matter to the Unionist press.
10 reasons to subscribe to The National for £10 on our 10th birthday
Just this week, we revealed that the Scottish Greens have said the SNP must “categorically rule out” cutting spending on independence in the upcoming Scottish Budget.
With a subscription, you can also get access to all of our top columnists such as Yes campaigners Lesley Riddoch and Ruth Wishart as well as the likes of our foreign affairs correspondent David Pratt.
We’ve always got plenty of great stories for you to look at on a wide range of topics.
For example, on Monday we revealed how a leading charity called out the UK Government on cutting the universal Winter Fuel Payment as temperatures dropped.
We also had an exclusive interview with Audrey Nicoll, whose Aberdeenshire seat has been at the centre of the media cycle for more than a week now after Stephen Flynn announced he wanted to run for her position in 2026.
We were also one of the first newspapers to take a firm stand against Israel’s bombardment of Gaza – and had an exclusive story yesterday on Keir Starmer being called out for his hypocrisy over his continued denial of a genocide taking place.
So, to keep a pro-independence voice in the newsroom talking about the subjects that matter, subscribe to The National now for just £10 for a whole year.
It’s an unbeatable price and you only have until the end of the month to take advantage – so click HERE to find out more.
Thank you!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
