History

The magazine was originally owned by Parliamentary Communications, then in 2002 was bought out by Holyrood Communications.^[1] Dods acquired Holyrood Communications in 2012.^[2] Dods were hoping to benefit from the increased political activity that was expected in Scotland in the following two years.^[3] In December 2015, the Holyrood Communications staff moved into new premises at Panmure Court on Calton Road in Edinburgh.^[4]

Some of the interviews published by the magazine have had a high profile.^{[5][example needed]}
