The Kirkintilloch Herald is a weekly tabloid newspaper serving the Kirkintilloch area of East Dunbartonshire, in Scotland. It is edited and printed in Kirkintilloch, and is known locally as the Kirky Herald. It also prints a Bishopbriggs edition.
The newspaper was founded in 1883 [2] in premises on the Cowgate by town businessman Donald MacLeod. It has been published by Johnston Press since the early 1970s. [3]
In addition to the main edition, there is one local sub-edition, sharing the same website:
Both editions come out on Wednesdays. [3]
The paper has often been at the forefront of local causes, including a long-running but ultimately unsuccessful campaign to save accident and emergency and in-patient services at Stobhill Hospital. [2]
