David McCann has been appointed editor of The Times and The Sunday Times Scotland after serving as interim editor since Magnus Llewellin’s departure in June.
Mr McCann joined the title as news editor in 2018 before being appointed deputy editor the following year.
He previously worked as assistant editor and head of news at The Herald and assistant news editor at the Daily Record, after holding various roles at the Edinburgh Evening News.
Richard Bogie, managing director of News Scotland, said: “We are thrilled to appoint David as editor.
“He has a deep understanding of Scotland’s media landscape as well as The Times’ audience.”
Mr Llewellin left the titles after eight years. His departure follows the exit of other senior figures including Mark Macaskill, who was deputy editor at The Sunday Times Scotland, Michael Glackin, Sunday Times Scotland business editor, features writer Mike Wade, and sports writer Douglas Alexander.
