- An Admiralty Closing Order has been placed on the upper Forth ports of Grangemouth and Bo'Ness. This measure is because foreign ships trading with these ports would have to pass HM Naval Base, Rosyth.
- The Scotsman carries a report from The Couriere Colonial of Paris from a French NCO at Edea stating that German troops are employing barbaric methods in The Cameroons.

The Scotsman, Monday 16th November, 1914
The match at Parkhead between the Celtic and Third Lanark attracted some 7,000 spectators.
Play all through was of a strenuous nature.
In the first half the visitors quite held their own, and had the forwards steadied themselves in front of goal Shaw would have been beaten on two occasions. J. W. Smith and Mountford both missing great chances.
In the second half there was no doubting the Celts’ superiority, and after a claim for a goal had been disallowed, McColl beat Brownlie from a penalty kick.
The Celts were strong in all divisions, with McNair, Young and McMenemy excelling. Brownlie, Lennon and Gibb were the strong men in the visitors’ team.
