A major milestone has now been met – with a massive total of 1000 National subscribers having signed up for a new Scotwallet to receive their 1000 Scotcoin.
More emails are set to go out to National subscribers, so if you haven’t received yours yet – fear not, it’s on the way!
Meanwhile, if you’d like to take up the offer and claim your 1000 Scotcoin, you can take out a subscription to The National for as little as £2 for two months – click here for more info.
Once you’ve followed the instructions for bagging your Scotcoin, please allow for a little extra time for it to come through due to the significant uptake.
Among the benefits of a subscription to The National is unlimited access to all our premium content and analysis from Scotland’s top voices, such as David Pratt and Lesley Riddoch, giving their take on the latest news.

The vision behind Scotcoin is to help facilitate a better Scotland using digital currency as the fuel to help deliver lasting change.
For example, through backing Social Bite and offsetting carbon footprint with Planting Direct. You can also hold on to yours for when it goes on an exchange early next year.
National editor Callum Baird said: “Our readers have been really interested in this project – which, like us, is interested in how we keep making Scotland a better place.
“We’re interested in reporting on positive news about Scotland and the many projects trying to use technology to create a greener feature, not just the doom and gloom, which is especially relevant during COP26.
“It’s a great time to join The National’s family of subscribers – and we look forward to welcoming you.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
