Charles Mackintosh's Glasgow Herald building, now "The Lighthouse"
The Herald is a national broadsheet newspaper published Monday to Saturday in Glasgow, Scotland, with an audited circulation of 65,800, making it the best circulating national broadsheet newspaper in Scotland.

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

In 1802 it became the Herald and Advertiser, changing to Glasgow Herald in 1805. It became a daily in 1859. In 1895, publication moved to a Charles Rennie Mackintosh building in Mitchell Street. 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.

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.

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.

Charles McGhee (former editor of the Glasgow Evening Times) has been the editor since 30 January 2006, replacing Mark Douglas-Home who left in December 2005.
