THE price of The National and Sunday National will go up by 10p from tomorrow – but you can stick with a cheaper price by taking out a print subscription as we gear up for indyref2.
Given that we are the only pro-independence paper on newsstands, we know many of our readers will not be picking up other titles. You may still have noticed rises across the board recently.
That is, in large part, due to the rapidly rising cost of paper, with Brexit a major factor.
Brexit is a key strand in why Scotland is now marching towards a second independence referendum – and The National is gearing up for that vote.
We’ve been working with groups such as Yes Highlands and Islands, IndyLive and the Aberdeen Independence Movement.
We want to work with many more.
With this price rise coming, there has never been a better time to lock in your support for The National by becoming a print subscriber – and telling your pals to join too.
That’s because the price will be frozen with that subscription.
You’ll be able to secure a print copy of The National seven days a week with a voucher scheme. We send you vouchers, and you trade them for the newspaper.
Our payment options include a monthly direct debit of £28.93 – so, even cheaper than the current 90p cover price!
You can also enjoy a four-week break for holidays whenever you need it.

When The National was launched, we were told we’d never last – that a pro-independence paper had no chance of surviving.
Thanks to your support, we proved them wrong. We’re here for indyref2.
If you keep backing us, we can hit new heights – let’s work together, as we put the Yes movement’s voice on newsstands EVERY day.
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
