The Edinburgh Minute lands in your inbox at 7am every weekday with a handpicked round-up of original journalism and community news from Edinburgh. Founded by local journalist Michael MacLeod, who has over 20 years of media experience, the newsletter cuts through the noise of clickbait and pop-up ads to bring you real local stories from real people.
What to Expect
Each edition links out to the day’s original local journalism — news, culture, events, and community happenings across the city. No algorithms, no paywalls on the daily edition, no advertising. Just a well-curated slice of what’s going on in Edinburgh, ready before you’ve finished your morning coffee.
Paid subscribers also get the Edinburgh Culture Minute on Wednesdays, a weekend what’s-on guide on Fridays, and full access to the archive.
Who It’s For
Edinburgh locals, expats keeping tabs on home, or anyone with an interest in the city. If you want to stay genuinely informed about what’s happening in Edinburgh without doom-scrolling the local news sites, this is the easy alternative.
