THERE is undoubtedly a phenomenal international media interest in how Scots are reacting to Brexit on Friday.
It’s appreciated in much of Europe that though the UK voted to quit the EU in 2016, Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain.
So Brexit Day events in Scotland are seemingly of huge interest.
Mike Blackshaw, from the Edinburgh Yes Hub who has organised the “Missing EU already” event outside the Scottish Parliament, said he was stunned by the interest from the foreign press.
More than 40 outlets from across the world are keen on covering the rally, including UK-based outlets such as the BBC and STV.
Here's a list of all foreign press that will be focusing on Scotland's response to Brexit:

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
