Holyrood (magazine)

Scottish fortnightly political magazine


Holyrood is a fortnightly magazine devoted to current affairs and politics. Created following the advent of devolution in the UK in 1999 the magazine provides coverage of the goings on at the Scottish Parliament, as well as interviews with leading political figures. It is a politically independent publication[citation needed]. Holyrood Communications[clarification needed] also encompasses Holyrood Events, a provider of public sector events and conferences[citation needed]. The technology sub-brand, Holyrood Connect, provides events and the latest news, opinion and analysis on the technology sector across the UK[citation needed].

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]
