Did you know you can get even more news and analysis straight to your inbox every day - for free?
The Herald is delighted to announce the launch of a brand new evening political newsletter, Unspun, which promises readers an exclusive analysis of the day in Scottish politics - and a look at what's coming next.
With the campaign for what could be the most important Scottish election heating up, we're bringing you top insight from some of our most popular contributors every weekday at 6pm.
Last night saw Kevin McKenna looked at the first Scottish leaders' debate of the election campaign - and said it may be time for us to reconsider Willie Rennie.
Kevin will be bringing his top analysis to Unspun every Wednesday evening, with Alison Rowat on Tuesdays, Iain Macwhirter on Thursdays and Neil Mackay on Fridays.
Readers will get a rundown of the last weekend and what they can expect from the week ahead in Monday's offering.
In addition to politics, fans of Scotland's arts and cultural scene are set to benefit from our brand new Herald Magazine newsletter, reaching inboxes every Saturday at 12pm.
Written by assistant editor Garry Scott and senior features writer Susan Swarbrick, you'll get the latest from our weekly Saturday magazine straight to your inbox, and our top picks from the pages.
We're also bringing you the latest headlines every morning at 7am with our re-vamped Morning Briefing to kick-start your day.
For all the latest coronavirus news in Scotland, including the latest figures and updates, make sure you subscribe to our Covid in Scotland newsletter, reaching inboxes at 3pm each day.
You'll be given the latest figures in Scotland, and have all the latest news and analysis about the pandemic from our health correspondents at your fingertips.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
