TODAY is the last chance for new subscribers to secure free access to The National’s premium plus digital offering for 30 days.

The National is Scotland’s only pro-independence newspaper, busting negative myths about our nation and celebrating the best of it.

While many readers are already part of our digital family, we want to keep growing that number.

Today is a perfect chance to recommend the site to a friend who you think could be won over by analysis from the likes of Lesley Riddoch and the Wee Ginger Dug and our reporting on Scotland's real potential.

If you choose to stay with us after the 30 days, you’ll be offered more than 25% off an annual subscription and receive an Arran Gin Hamper gift packed with fantastic Scottish produce to go with that.

You’ll have access to our daily digital edition, a digital replica of the newspaper, including the Sunday. Plus, free access to the Scottish Gardener, Scottish Mountaineer and Scottish Walks and Cycling magazines.

Head over to our subscriptions page at https://www.thenational.scot/subscribe/ or keep scrolling for more information.

National editor Callum Baird said: "The support of our readers and subscribers is crucial to running projects like pro-independence specials with Believe In Scotland, distributed across the country.

"We have some big plans for 2022 too that we're working on in the background. We're excited to reveal more about those when the time is right!

"As Scotland's only pro-independence newspaper, we're always looking to win over those who have yet to make up their mind on indyref2 – for example, those turned off by Tory corruption but not quite Yessers yet.

"They want clear reporting on partygate – and as we've shown from our front pages, we aren't afraid to call the Prime Minister's claims out as the lies they are.

"Plus, we think our digital subscription brings some great added value for our print readers.

"Try out 30 days and we're confident we can win you over!"
