The Scots Magazine - November 2021 - Welcome to the Climate Change Issue! With Glasgow set for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, we've all you need to know about the event, the effects of climate change in Scotland, work being done on solutions, and what we can all do for a more positive outcome. Read contributions from guest writers – like former Prime Minister Gordon Brown – and our own team, as well as the results of survey questions we posed to our readers. And many of our regular columnists write on environmental themes – Polly Pullar on caring for yourself, as well as the planet, and Kenny MacAskill on Robert Angus Smith, the Victorian scientist who held factory owners to account over pollution. You’ll also find loads of the content you know and love – from articles on stunning Scottish locations to celebrity interviews and inspiration for fun this month, whether in the great outdoors, or at the nation’s best festivals and events. Plus more people, places, wildlife, culture from around Scotland. --- The Scots Magazine was first published on February 9, 1739, as a 48-page pamphlet, priced sixpence monthly. It was edited and printed in Edinburgh. In its present form, The Scots Magazine dates from April 24, 1924, when it was re-established by the St Andrew Society (Glasgow) as the official organ of the Scottish Societies throughout the world. D C Thomson and Co., Ltd, Dundee, took it over in 1927 since when it has continued to be published monthly. With a monthly average readership of over quarter of a million The Scots Magazine is the world's best-selling Scottish-interest publication. It offers something for everyone: culture, history, the great outdoors - including some of the best photography from some of the country's best photographers. For Scots at home and abroad, the magazine captures the essence of Scotland with an attractive blend of interesting and in-depth articles.
