Herald Voices (Weekdays at 11am)
Every day, we're giving you a rundown of who you can expect in our incredible Voices section.
We go through the columnists of the day, giving a sneak peek into their musings - and we'll also showcase the fantastic illustrations from our in-house artist, Steven Camley, as well.
Unspun: Your Politics Briefing (Weekdays at 6pm)
In April, we launched a 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.
As Scotland deals with the aftermath of what was one of the most important Scottish elections in history, we're bringing you top insight from some of our most popular contributors every weekday at 6pm.
We’ve enlisted the help of Alison Rowat on Tuesdays, Kevin McKenna on Wednesdays, Iain Macwhirter on Thursdays and Neil Mackay on Fridays.
Covid in Scotland (Weekdays at 3pm)
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.
Daily Catch-Up (Weekdays at 4pm)
At 4pm, we'll take you through the stories our readers have been enjoying the most from that day.
We'll give you a rundown of the headlines and a preview of the pieces that have been getting our readers talking in our catch-up newsletter - perfect for your commute home.
The Herald Magazine (Saturdays at 1pm)
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 1pm.
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.

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
