COMMENT: It's good that the project is continuing beyond its original goal of 40 million pages, but I hope the BNA addresses one of its biggest weaknesses for its Scottish content at some point, and that is its coverage for 20th century Glasgow, Scotland's largest city.
In the meantime, don't forget that the Glasgow Herald is freely available from 1806-1990 on Google News at https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=GGgVawPscysC, whilst the Evening Times, mainly from 1951-1990, is available at https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2mus-XyGPC0C. The Bulletin and Scots Pictorial from Glasgow is also available for 1951-1960 at https://bit.ly/BulletinScotsPictorial. In all cases the search tool from Google is unfortunately quite poor, but the papers can be freely browsed.
