The Sunday Mail is a Scottish tabloid newspaper published every Sunday. It is the sister paper of the Daily Record and is owned by Reach plc. [2]

Contents

It should not be confused with The Mail on Sunday ; the Daily Mail was unable to use the title Sunday Mail when it launched a Sunday edition in 1982 because of the Scottish paper.

History

The paper was founded in Glasgow in 1919. In 1922, Gomer Berry (later 1st Viscount Kemsley) bought the Sunday Mail, its sister paper the Daily Record , and another newspaper, the Glasgow Evening News , for £1 million. He formed a controlling company known as Associated Scottish Newspapers Ltd. [3] Kemsley sold all three papers to the London-based Mirror Group in 1955.

In September 1999, when Editor Jim Cassidy was sacked, the paper's circulation was 767,000. Its nearest rival was the Scottish edition of the News of the World which sold around 350,000 copies at that time. [4]

As of December 2016, the Sunday Mail had a circulation of 172,513. [5] This decreased to 166,195 in February 2017, [6] 159,880 in April 2017, [7] 152,892 in July 2017 [8] and 104,608 in March 2020. [9]

On 12 May 2019, the Sunday Mail announced its support for the Scottish Greens in the upcoming EU elections, becoming the first major publication in Scotland to back the party, despite disagreeing with the Greens' pro-independence stance. [10]
