The Digger is a newspaper in Glasgow, Scotland. It is published weekly, in an A5 newsletter format. The paper was founded by James Cruickshank in 2004, and claims to have a circulation of up to 10,000.[1] The paper focuses on stories about local organised crime, and alleged corruption within Strathclyde Police and Glasgow City Council, sometimes also naming alleged local drug dealers and paedophiles. The paper was the subject of a BBC Scotland documentary in 2006.[2] At one stage Cruickshank was banned from covering stories at Glasgow Sheriff Court. [3][4]
