Daily Record

The Daily Record is a tabloid based in Glasgow and selling throughout Scotland – until recently, it was easily Scotland’s biggest-selling paper, but it’s felt the pinch following News International’s decision to slash the price of the Scottish edition of The Sun to 20p.

It began publication in 1895 and absorbed the North British Daily Mail in 1901. In 1971 it became the first European newspaper to be printed with run-of-paper colour, and later became the first British paper to adopt computer compositing.

It’s owned and published by Scottish Daily Record & Sunday Mail Ltd, part of the Trinity Mirror group.

The Record has historically had very close links to the Scottish Labour Party. It’s vehemently opposed to Scottish independence and the SNP. But it’s socially conservative in at least some respects, including its (ultimately unsuccessful) campaign to “Keep the Clause”, Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 which banned local authorities from activities supporting homosexuality.

A cheap afternoon edition for Glasgow and Edinburgh, Daily Record PM, was converted to a freesheet and extended to Aberdeen and Dundee in January 2007.
