The Scotsman on tour: newspaper to host debates across Scotland

The Scotsman will launch a series of debates later this month, giving experts and the public an opportunity to discuss major local issues.

The debates will move to a series of different locations around Scotland over the next five months, and tackle a range of issues including Scotland’s independence, the environemnt and economy, wind power in the Scottish borders and the future of Scotland’s media.

The series will launch in the paper this Saturday, 10 May, in a 12-page supplement which will also look at the history of The Scotsman and what it stands for.

Mike Gilson, editor of the paper, said: “Last year’s debate on the nation across the regions was such a major success that we wanted to give people another chance to discuss the issues which affect them the most.”
