Figures of national importance such as Donald Dewar, John Smith, Andrew Neil, William Boyd, Iain Martin and Sir Neil MacCormick have graced the pages. Stories range from the most trivial to issues of national importance with everything in between, written in styles that can be serious, humorous, irreverent or downright offensive!
