The Scottish Catholic Observer is Scotland's only national Catholic newspaper, founded in 1885. It features news of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland as well as regular international church news and reports from the Vatican. The paper is owned by the Catholic Herald newspaper group.

Weekly editions contain local, national and international news, an opinion page, letters, education and reviews in addition to regular reader competitions. The paper also lists births, deaths and marriages across Scotland.

The paper carries regular features on Scottish Catholic life and history, weekly columnists alongside an Ecumenical coverage which keeps readers up to date with Scottish Inter-Church dialogue and projects.

The Scottish Catholic Observer was redesigned and relaunched in 2008 with editor Liz Leydon, a former Scotsman journalist, and manager, Rebecca Rigg.[1][2] In June 2016, deputy editor Ian Dunn took over as editor. [3]
