The Scottish Standard was a weekly Scottish newspaper, supportive of Scottish independence. It was launched on March 9, 2005; seven issues were published in all. Walter Thomas Monningtons 1925 painting called Parliamentary Union of England and Scotland 1707 hangs in the Palace of Westminster depicting the official presentation of the law that formed the United Kingdom of Great Britain. ...
The intention of the paper was to provide a middle-market tabloid for the section of the Scottish public that support independence. Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish National Party, wrote a column for the paper, as did other Scottish political figures supportive of independence. A tabloid is a newspaper format particularly popular in the United Kingdom, which is roughly 231/2 by 143/4 inches (597 by 375 mm) per spread. ... Alex Salmond MP Alexander Alex Elliot Anderson Salmond (born December 31, 1954 in Linlithgow, West Lothian) is the leader (or National Convenor) of the Scottish National Party (SNP). ... In Scotland, the Scottish National Party (SNP) (PÃ rtaidh NÃ iseanta na h-Alba in Scottish Gaelic) is a centre-left political party which favours Scottish independence. ...
The paper had a modest circulation of between 6000 and 12,000 copies, which was too low to sustain the journalist, sales and admin staff who at launch totally approximately 38. The main problem appeared to be a lack of promotion of the title. Indeed the only noticable promotion was a ten second advert on Scottish and Grampian TV the night before the paper launched. Very few people were therefore aware of the paper, other than by word of mouth. There would definitely appear to be a market for such a publication if it was promoted adequately.

From now on this will fly the ancient Scottish royal standard (red lion rampant on gold in a double tressure) unless the Queen is in residence, in which case it will fly the current Royal Standard, which for some reason doesn't change north of the border, although the arms on which it is based do.
The Scottishstandard is being flown in the queen's absence.
