Scotland Puzzle

Scottish Newspapers

By Kay Glasgow

Scots have been voracious readers of the national, regional and local press for centuries. Newspaper titles in publication have declined in Scotland the past few decades and some Scottish papers may not even be printed in Scotland. However, at the WWW newsstand stacks of newspapers from all over Scotland are just a click away. At sites like http://www.zen.co.uk/wrx/scotland.htm or http://www.ecola.com/news/press/eu/uk/sc/ even local news of Scotland awaits global readers. In this puzzle most of the scrambled words are parts of Scottish newspaper titles.
