The Herald is a Scottish broadsheet newspaper founded in 1783. It is said to be the longest running national newspaper in the world and the eighth oldest daily paper in the world. It is printed at Cambuslang, just outside Glasgow. The newspaper was founded by John Mennons as a weekly publication called the Advertiser. Mennons left the newspaper in 1802. The new owners changed the name to The Herald and Advertiser and Commercial Chronicle in 1803 and to The Glasgow Herald in 1804. It became the Glasgow Herald in 1834 and began daily publication in 1858.
