Daybreak Scotland is the regional news strand for the two ITV regions in northern and central Scotland, provided for the ITV breakfast station ITV Breakfast. The bulletins are produced for Daybreak by Macmillan Media, and are broadcast from studios in Glasgow.

Before 3 December 2007, the regional news opt outs during GMTV (now Daybreak) were provided by the ITV franchise holders in central and northern Scotland, STV Central and STV North respectively. However, following a dispute between STV and GMTV, the contract for providing the regional news was awarded to Macmillan Media.

Macmillian Media also produces Daybreak Northern Ireland news for broadcast on UTV, the ITV franchise holder in Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, the regional news for the ITV regions in England and Wales are produced by the corresponding ITV plc regions. Channel Television continues to produce its own breakfast news bulletins. Viewers in southern Scotland receive pan-regional news from the ITV Tyne Tees and Border region.

GMTV Scotland was rebranded as Daybreak Scotland in September 2010, when GMTV was replaced by new breakfast programme, Daybreak. Regional bulletins air every Monday to Friday at 6.15am, 7.15am and 8.15am, and includes a look at the days main headlines, a travel news update, and a weather forecast.
