EVERY week we bring you up to date with the latest goings on in the world.
And 2016 proved to be an extraordinary year for news, from Brexit and Trump to the deaths of iconic stars.
We also brought you news from closer to home that affects you, and countless incredible stories of inspiring Scots who have triumphed over adversity.
As Scotland’s favourite family newspaper, each edition reflects our brand values of fairness and decency.
