Herald Launches Scotland's Defence Future series

The UK Defence Journal is taking part in an exciting project

The Herald has launched a four-day special report, Scotland’s Defence Future, running from Monday 22 to Thursday 25 September. Across the week, readers will find:

• An examination of the strategic threats facing Scotland, from Russian activity in the North Atlantic to the security of undersea cables.
• Analysis of the rebirth of Scottish shipbuilding, with major export orders pointing to a Clyde renaissance.
• A look at the scale of the defence industry across Scotland, from radar in Edinburgh to engineers in Glasgow.
• The political debates over sovereignty, priorities and the costs of defence.

Contributions come from across The Herald newsroom, including foreign affairs editor David Pratt and feature writer Kevin McKenna.

The UK Defence Journal is also taking part, with George Allison contributing an in-depth piece on Clyde shipbuilding that charts its peaks and troughs and explores what the new wave of investment could mean for Scotland’s future.

The series offers sharp analysis and no shortage of debate at a moment when the world feels more unstable than it has in decades.
