News Scotland has announced the appointment of Dale Miller as editor of The Times and The Sunday Times in Scotland. He will lead the Scottish editorial team across both print and digital platforms.
Miller joined News Scotland in December 2025, initially serving as acting editor. He was formerly deputy editor of The Scotsman.
The 44-year-old previously held a number of senior positions at The Scotsman and Edinburgh Evening News, building a reputation as one of Scottish journalism’s most trusted editorial leaders.
Miller began his career in Australia working at The West Australian. Over nearly a decade he established himself as one of the country’s top sports and news journalists, covering the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games and the 2016 Rio Olympics.
His promotion to editor comes at a time when Times Media says it is seeing significant growth across both its digital and audio platforms. The Times and The Sunday Times now reach 12.5 million people per month in print and digital (PAMCo March 2026) and boast more than 659,000 digital subscribers. The Times and The Sunday Times are the only news organisations to have simultaneously won the main accolades at the UK Press Awards, Media Freedom Awards and London Press Club last year.
Ben Taylor, editor of The Sunday Times, said: “Dale's appointment is excellent news for readers in Scotland and for the wider Times and Sunday Times family. He is a talented editor with a clear vision, a sharp eye for a story and the judgement to lead a newsroom at a pivotal moment for the country. I know he and his team will produce the kind of bold, trusted journalism that defines our titles.”
Richard Bogie, managing director of News Scotland, said: “The menu of major news events in Scotland in the months ahead is a rich one, from the Parliamentary elections next month to the small matter of a World Cup tournament with a home team to follow every step of the way. I know that Dale is as committed as I am to ensuring The Times remains the most trusted voice in Scotland media and I am delighted that he’ll be leading our brilliant editorial team as they write the next chapter of this country’s story.”
Dale Miller said: “Scotland has never been short of big stories, and right now it has more than most. I'm hugely excited to be taking on this role at such a consequential moment – for Scottish politics, for the economy, and for the country's place in the wider world.
“In an era of misinformation, providing authoritative, high-quality journalism matters more than it ever has, and The Times is the most trusted newsbrand in the country.”
Miller takes over from David McCann, who stepped down from the role earlier this year and has left News UK.
