 | 'For Mr Swinney, there was always going to be just one subject for his weekly joust with the first minister after Mr McLeish, horribly uncomfortable before an unusually hostile audience, was caught on tape bad-mouthing John Reid and Brian Wilson. Everyone knew the joke would be on Henry after he called Dr Reid a 'patronising bastard' and Mr Wilson a 'liability' in a conversation with Helen Liddell.'
Murray Ritchie in the Herald, 12 th June 2001. |  |

Daily Papers
The Herald: Glasgow-based quality newspaper. Although it has dropped 'Glasgow' from its title, it still has a western bias, especially in it's sports coverage. The Herald is now Scotland's best selling quality newspaper. Political coverage is generally balanced.
The Scotsman:
This Edinburgh-based paper was once Scotland's most highly regarded quality newspaper, largely because of the work of respected editors like the late Alistair Dunnett. Recently, the paper has been relaunched as Scotland's first broadsheet-sized tabloid by its right wing Editor-in-Chief, Andrew Neil.
