The Edinburgh Gazette, along with the London Gazette and the Belfast Gazette, is an official newspaper of the United Kingdom government. It is published by The Stationery Office (TSO), on behalf of Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Edinburgh Gazette was first published in 1699 (34 years after the first edition of the London Gazette) but did not begin an unbroken publication run until 1793.
It is now published twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and it includes official notices relating to matters of state, Parliament, planning, transport, and public finance, as well as insolvency and bankruptcy notices. It also contains advertisements. For example, local authorities place notices in the Gazette about matters of local interest, such as road closures.
The Crown Agent is, ex officio, the Keeper of the Edinburgh Gazette.
