The Edinburgh Gazette, along with the London Gazette and the Belfast Gazette, is an official newspaper of the United Kingdom government. The Edinburgh Gazette is the Official Newspaper of Record for Scotland, and is published twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays by The Stationery Office (TSO), on behalf of Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) in Edinburgh, Scotland. Its content consists of legal and official announcements from HM Government, the Scottish Executive, the Parliaments at Westminster and Holyrood, the Armed Forces, local authorities, churches, companies and private citizens.

It was founded in 1699, eight years before the Act of Union and 34 (34 years after the first edition of the London Gazette), but was produced sporadically until 1793, since when it’s been published continuously.
