The owners of \u003cem data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"485\"\u003eThe Scotsman\u003c\/em\u003e then reached an agreement with Scottish railway companies, under which they paid the carriage fees themselves, effectively creating a railway distribution monopoly for the paper.

The publishers entered into an agreement with the North British Railway to provide an early morning newspaper express service, using dedicated vans to carry freshly printed copies from Edinburgh at 04:00 to Glasgow for onward distribution on the first morning trains. As circulation continued to grow, an additional newspaper express was introduced in 1899 to carry the paper to Hawick each morning, connecting with the 06:00 passenger train to Riccarton.

Each morning, bundles of newspapers leaving the presses at 04:00 were taken to Edinburgh’s Waverley station and loaded onto twelve dedicated “Special Express” carriages in Scotsman livery. During the journey, packers assembled individual parcels for each destination, which were thrown out at stations along the route.
