Counter Information was a revolutionary left-wing news sheet produced by groups in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Leeds from the 1980s to 2004.[1]

The news sheet covered grassroots struggles in Scotland, the United Kingdom, and worldwide.[2] Within Edinburgh, the news sheet was based at the autonomous Centre of Edinburgh from 1997.[citation needed] Counter Information adopted a class struggle anarchist perspective, and invited readers to contribute articles, attend editorial meetings and share information.[3]
