"At Cowlairs, I’ve heard tales of bonfires, cars that have been set ablaze and a group of dirt bike racers who’ve carved out paths that stretch over most of the 74-acre park. It’s this unofficial race track which has brought me up here.

Tonight, my colleagues at The Tribune are up for Private Eye's Paul Foot Award!

Not only that, but for a few weeks, Sheffielders can get a free Tribune membership. Please share this link with anyone you know in and around Sheffield.

Countless break ins, missing jewellery worth hundreds of thousands of pounds and sophisticated criminal gangs: the Glasgow gold robbery crisis

We've got papers.

And we're not afraid to give them out in several places in Sheffield over the coming month

The Easdales are climbing Scotland's rich list, but are the McGill's Buses brothers really billionaires?

Jings crivvens it might happen. With Glasgow City Council telling Scot Gov that they favour demolition of the M8 at the Woodside Viaduct, east of Charing Cross, the unthinkable suddenly looks possible. We've heard one alternative is a sort of grand boulevard into the centre.

Over 2,500 pipers left for the trenches of WW1. They would usually go “over the top” first, an act of courage for the troops who followed the music. 500 were reported dead, and 600 injured.

Any readers who know anyone in West Yorkshire? They might like this.

So, we’ve got a name.

Introducing: The Exchange.

A new newsroom for West Yorkshire - built on the idea that places matter, stories matter, and that information shouldn’t just sit there.

Greens and Reform "buzzing" after historic Glasgow breakthrough. Labour feeling "sh*te", Tories sent "back to the drawing board", and SNP dominant. And which Glasgow councillor spotted "two cock and balls" on ballot papers? https://t.co/SFM3NQfesf

[Calum Grewar @CalumG_FPC]

Energy difference between Greens and Labour and SNP is palpable at the Glasgow count. They're doing all the superstitious non-jinxing chat but they believe they can win three Glasgow MSPs. Two seats, one list for former leader Patrick Harvie.

Can a restaurant be humble while having gold cutlery, waiters in waistcoats, and the option of buying a whole lamb for £350?

📝 Who'll win Glasgow's newest seat in the north? In 2025, the Scottish parliament decided that parts of the old Holyrood seats of Glasgow Kelvin and Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn should be chopped up and stuck back together in a new seat.

[The Bell @theglasgowbell]

On 23 October 2025, four days after the daring robbery at the Louvre, Glasgow had ones of its own treasures stolen. We are revealing it to the public for the first time, and police are appealing for any information relating to the theft of the Lipton Cup.

@sauterne hoping to ask you some questions for a story if you want to get in touch!

[The Bell @theglasgowbell]

What did you call the part of Union Street that burned down in March? It turns, us calling it "Union Corner" caused a bit of a stir. But who's right? And is it just, "that Irn Bru sign building?" Well... we've got an answer.

Tricky article but very proud to have commissioned it at The Bell. Alice Austin put in stacks of work to get it right.

💽 Renfrewshire DJ ATØN, AKA Amy Hutton, didn’t think much of a message from TECHNO PRODUCTIONS when it landed in her inbox on February 10th 2026. "Hi are you free for a hard techno set 4th July 6th avenue nightclub Stewarton"

"One fella enquired, at the top of his pipes in a crowded cafe at the Burrell Collection, how I’d like him to bring me to orgasm."
