Issue 13
This is the thirteenth issue of Hidden Scotland Magazine. An unlucky number? Not a bit of it. We've had the good fortune to be able to gather a truly wonderful selection of stories, features and interviews, crisscrossing the national map and packing in plenty of warming inspiration for the colder months ahead.

Questions, answered
This is a pre-order — when will my copy arrive?
+
We'll start posting copies out in early October, and we will update you via email.
What comes with a pre-order?
+
Every pre-order includes an A5 print of the front cover image and a bookmark, the same as subscriber copies get. No code needed, they go in the parcel.
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.
Is there a digital version?
+
Digital editions will be available from early October, priced at £15. We'll share the details nearer the time.
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 pre-order and subscriber copies arrive hand wrapped in tissue with a bookmark and a print of the cover. Gift subscriptions are available too.
I run a shop. Can I stock Hidden Scotland?
+
We're stocked by independents across Scotland. If you run a shop and would like to stock us, email hello@hiddenscotland.co.
