This includes Politics, Business, Sports, and Culture. It also provides a section dedicated to analysis and opinion pieces. The Scotsman has played a critical role in documenting and shaping public opinion in Scotland for more than 200 years.**One interesting fact**: Notably, The Scotsman was one of the first newspapers to include a regular women's column, beginning this feature as far back as 1824. This early recognition of the importance of women's views and issues in the public sphere underscores The Scotsman's pioneering role in the newspaper industry.
