In its present form, The Scots Magazine dates from April 1924 when it was re-established by the St Andrew Society (Glasgow) as the official organ of the Scottish Societies throughout the world. The firm of D. C. Thomson & Co., Ltd., Dundee, took it over in April 1927, since when it has been published continuously. The Scots Magazine is widely read in Scotland and among Scots overseas. Many visitors to Scotland find that it appeals to them, and become subscribers. The object of the magazine today is to present a picture of Scotland as a nation. We seek to keep alive the best of our traditions and to remember the history that has made Scotland distinctive. We provide authoritative articles about the Scottish countryside and its natural history, and in recent years there has been an emphasis on top-quality colour photography. We also publish short stories and reminiscent articles which bring out the flavour of Scottish character. With a multi-national readership of over 190,000, The Scots Magazine is the world's best-selling Scottish-interest publication.
