Scottish Review is run by Kenneth Roy, a venerable Scottish journalist who has used his wide network to help fund (through subscription and donation) the Institute for Contemporary Scotland, which backs this online publication. The SR does useful investigative work into the new Scottish establishment at Holyrood, and also runs informed commentary from the retired members of earlier, less devolved Scottish institutions. The general tone is like a McOldie, except vaguely left-nationalist, and quixotic about culture and history - very much a reflection of the editor's sensibility.
