Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | While the earliest Scottish newspapers began in the mid-1600s, newspapers became more established in the early 1700s. The first Scottish newspapers of any significance and continuance were the Edinburgh Evening Courant (1718-1871) and the Caledonian Mercury (1720-1867), which were national papers and gave little local news. Edinburgh was the main center for newspaper circulation and production during the 1700s. Circulation of newspapers was relatively low throughout the 1700s and into the 1800s. See National Library of Scotland for more information.[1] |
