About BBC Radio Scotland
BBC Radio Scotland is the BBC's national radio station for Scotland, bringing listeners news, current affairs, sport, music and entertainment with a distinctly Scottish voice. From the Borders to the Northern Isles, it is the station that keeps Scotland talking. On this page you can listen to BBC Radio Scotland live online for free.
Scotland's national station
BBC Radio Scotland launched in 1978, taking over from the BBC's Radio 4 Scotland service and giving the country a full-time station of its own. It is based at BBC Scotland's headquarters at Pacific Quay in Glasgow, with teams across the country, and it also opts out at times for local programmes in areas such as Orkney and Shetland. Alongside it, BBC Radio nan Gàidheal serves Gaelic speakers.
What you will hear
Weekday mornings start with Good Morning Scotland, the station's flagship news programme, followed by phone-ins, interviews and features on everything from politics and health to culture and family life. Sport is a huge part of the schedule: Sportsound brings live commentary and reaction from Scottish football, rugby and more, while the much-loved Off the Ball mixes football talk with humour. Music programmes cover traditional and folk music, country, jazz, classical, pop and new Scottish talent, and comedy, documentaries and quiz shows add to the mix.
