The Mitchell Library in Glasgow have newspaper archives - they may have copies.

It might be worth contacting them to find out.

I've never heard of 'The Glasgow News' Ann - are you sure that's what the publication is called?

If you know a date you can have a look at The Glasgow Herald http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=GGgVawPscysC

Yes - it seems to have been some kind of free paper posted through letterboxes every week or so. I'd never heard of it either. :wink:

There was a paper named the Evening News in Glasgow. The other evening papers were the Glasgow Times and the Citizen. The usual cry
of the street vendors was "Times-News-Citi"

Thanks for verifying that Alan. Now I just need to find an archive with them in!
