Welcome to The Bell

Thanks for signing up! We aim to be your one-stop shop for everything that matters in Glasgow – be that politics, architecture, transport, clubbing or food.

Our Monday briefing will give you all the big stories you need to know about for the week ahead, and we'll send you intriguing long reads throughout the week. We want to take you deep into this city – providing little-known stories and intriguing insights.

Our team is currently small, but perfectly formed. We've got Moya Lothian-McLean, who has written for The New York Times and The Guardian, and is the host of several successful podcasts, including Human Resources and If I Speak. Joining her is Robbie Armstrong, local writer, reporter and broadcast journalist who knows Glasgow like the back of his hand. He’s previously written about food and drink, land reform, the arts and environmental issues.

Soon we'll be launching a separate tier for paid subscribers who want to support our mission to provide quality journalism in Glasgow. We'll continue to provide some journalism for free, but members will get extra stories, invites to events, and the warm glow of knowing you're backing something that's making a difference.

There's nothing more you need to do now, but if you'd like to catch up some of our great past reads, click below:
