The Scots Magazine

The Scots Magazine is a glossy, monthly magazine that brings Scotland to life in all its glory. Every issue is packed with entertaining and informative features celebrating the country’s rich urban and rural life – from the great outdoors to the vibrant city scene; all complemented by stunning photography.

Believed to be the oldest magazine still in publication, The Scots Magazine was first published on February 9, 1739, as a 48-page pamphlet, priced sixpence monthly. It celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2014 and has reported live on events from the Battle of Culloden and Waterloo right up to the present day.

With a monthly average readership of more than 178,000, The Scots Magazine is the world’s best-selling Scottish interest publication. It boasts a very healthy subscription base and online following, plus newsstand sales in Scotland, the wider UK, and overseas.
