About Interesting News

By
Interesting News is home to articles from across the world, primarily focused on Scottish news. It is my goal to ensure that the stories that don't always make it into the national press are featured here.

This site, and all content within is created by Anna-Roisin Ullman-Smith, the mind behind The Readers Guide and No Edit magazine.






I am a trained, freelance British journalist, currently living in Scotland and abide all ethical regulations that come with this job.



 If you have a story that you feel deserves some notice get in contact on Facebook; @UllmanSmithPublications or Twitter; @ullmansmith432 

 In personal life news I am happy to announce that as a fictional story writer I have been nominated for the 2017 Wicked Young Writer Awards, adding to my nomination from this year for the Scottish Student Journalism Awards (SSJA 2017)
