The paper, an evening sister paper of '' The Herald '', was established in 1876. The paper's slogan is "Nobody knows Glasgow better". Along with its sister paper, publication moved to a Charles Rennie Mackintosh building in Mitchell Street in 1868. The building is now The Lighthouse , Scotland's Centre for Architecture, Design and the City. In 1964, publishers George Outram were bought by Sir Hugh Fraser . Ownership was then acquired in 1979 by Tiny Rowland 's Lonrho . On 19 July 1980 the paper moved to offices at 195 Albion Street, a black-fronted building modelled after the ''Black Lubyanka'' building of the Daily Express in London 's Fleet Street . The Albion Street building had previously housed the Scottish Daily News Workers' Cooperative from May to November 1975. A management buy-out in May 1992 created Caledonian Newspapers, later purchased by Scottish Television in 1996. After the purchase the TV group renamed itself Scottish Media Group . ''The Evening Times'' and ''The Herald'' are owned by Newsquest (a division of Gannett ), which acquired it with the purchase of the publishing arm of the Scottish Media Group in 2003 in a highly controversial £216-million sale.
