Welcome to The Early Line
Sharp, smart, Scottish.
It's the email that'll make you the best-informed person in the room. Every morning Neil McIntosh scans hundreds of sources for The Early Line, bringing you news, views and ideas from across Scotland and the wider world. Weekdays at 7am.
We won't share your email address with anyone, and you can unsubscribe any time (although almost nobody wants to).
