A month after launching its Saturday compact edition, The Scotsman will tidy up the new format this weekend by changing the broadsheet section The Weekend into a compact magazine called Critique.
The magazine will be given over entirely to modern lifestyle, and will include from this Saturday a 12-page travel section.
Sales to 20 March had risen to an estimated 89,500 compared with 74,386 the week before the compact was introduced – an increase of 21 per cent.
