About the Scottish Review of Books

The Scottish Review of Books is Scotland’s literary newspaper. Launched in 2005, it is published quarterly, and appears with the Saturday edition of The Herald newspaper. Edited by Alan Taylor, the magazine has many distinguished contributors and commentators. The review is also available by subscription, and is published online where there is an archive of previous issues.  

Our Partnership

Our vision for our partnership with the Scottish Review of Books is to promote our commitment to literary culture; bring us closer to respected authors, scholars and international literary organisations; and inspire and encourage readers of all ages across the country, including students and school pupils, to communicate in print with style and impact.
