The Scottish edition of the Daily Mail was launched in 1995, offering a newspaper which prioritises Scottish news and sport whilst still providing both news from the UK and around the world. Edited by Chris Williams, former editor at the Daily Express, the paper has won many awards for editorial flair, outstanding reporting, design and print quality.
Quote from the Editor
“The Scottish Daily Mail is one of our nation's great success stories of the last decade. From a tiny readership back in 1995, we have grown to become a giant among Scottish newspapers. We have overtaken both the Scotsman's and Herald's circulation and outsell the two put together. We have also left the once-great Express in our wake. I think the Scottish Daily Mail can now claim to be the country's top quality newspaper”.
Chris Williams, Editor.
