Think Scotland

Founded in 2006 ThinkScotland’s editorial outlook has always been right-of-centre – with the aim of explaining and defending free markets and an open liberal society – but crucially without endorsing any one political party. You need not agree with everything that’s published but we hope you recognise the need for a vital, dynamic debate in Scotland – as well as a channel for lighthearted and humorous asides that make ThinkScotland a rounded and broad home for writing.
