"There's never a shortage of things to celebrate in Scotland, but on this occasion we felt it was especially apt to shine a light on some of the remarkable people that make this country the place it is."
Reaching a double-figure landmark as an independent publication is a source of huge pride, and we wanted this issue to be a celebration. Every issue is designed, published and printed in Scotland, and Issue 10 travels from the Borders to the Highland Boundary Fault in the company of the people who make this country what it is.
Made for slow Sunday mornings and long spring evenings.

Questions, answered
When do new issues come out?
+
Twice a year, in April and October. Subscribers get their copies posted first, before general release, and hear about each new issue ahead of everyone else.
Where do you ship, and how much is postage?
+
Worldwide, from Scotland. Postage is calculated at checkout based on where you are, so you'll see the full cost before you pay anything.
Do issues sell out?
+
Each issue is printed in a single run. Once an issue sells through, it isn't reprinted, which is why some early issues are now scarce. If a back issue is listed, it's in stock.
Is it a good gift?
+
We think so, and reviewers seem to agree. Every order is carefully packaged, and subscriber copies arrive hand wrapped in tissue with a bookmark and a print of the cover. Gift subscriptions are available too.
