Good Morning Scotland is a Scottish morning news and current affairs radio programme on BBC Radio Scotland, broadcast weekdays from 06:00 to 09:00, and Saturday’s from 08:00 to 09:00, produced by BBC News Scotland. It was established in 1973, making it the longest-running radio show broadcast from Scotland and it remains one of the most popular.
The modern edition of the show is based in many respects on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, it consists of regular news, sport, business, travel and weather bulletins along with interviews, in-depth reports and a daily religious slot Thought for the Day.
In October 2025, the corporation announced the programme would end following widespread media speculation. A new show in the same time slot, called Radio Scotland Breakfast, launches on 24 November. It will be led by BBC presenters Martin Geissler, Laura Maciver and Phil Goodlad.
The programme was launched on the morning of 31 December 1973 with presenters David Findlay and John Milne. Prior to GMS, radio producers Geoff Cameron and Allan Muirhead were responsible for producing a daily opt-out from Today, called Today in Scotland. Its popularity led to the launch of Good Morning Scotland.
In 1980, to celebrate 50 years of broadcasting from the BBC's Edinburgh studios at Queen Street, Good Morning Scotland was simulcast on BBC One Scotland for a week, pioneering breakfast television on the BBC (ITV station Yorkshire Television had broadcast a breakfast programme for six weeks during 1977 and thus laid claim to the first semi-regular British breakfast television broadcast).
In 2006 there some major changes to the show, including a change of presenters with Gary Robertson brought in.
The programme had an estimated 455,000 listeners in 2008, which fell to 380,000 the following year.
In early 2015, weekend editions of the programme were introduced and broadcast from 08:00 - 10:00. But since February 2021, Good Morning Scotland has been broadcast Monday to Saturday, with the Sunday edition replaced by Sunday Mornings, a faith-based programme and current affairs, political programme The Sunday Show.
