Outside of the British Library in London, NLS has the best collection of Scottish newspapers in the world, but as microfilms at the moment with very few indexes.

Hi Karen

There is a line of white tabs at the top of the page. The one marked LIBRARIES will take you to a page with a link National Library web site.

You'll get a pretty good idea of what is available from their site. Until someone on TS who knows the library first hand comes up with a more complete answer.

Best wishes
