I noted that today's Scottish Sun only contained tv listings for today.

    I don't think there are any papers for Christmas Day. I don't remember if any ever were published for that day.

    According to many of the news reports about the Sun's iPad edition, the newspaper industry agreed in 1912 not to publish on Christmas Day and that agreement is still in force almost 100 years later.

    I think papers for Christmas Day were still publised in Scotland until the 1960s as Xmas Day was not considered a holiday in Scotland.

    That is 100% true. People will just have to cope until Sunday without them :)

    A teenage lad outside the newsagents on Christmas Day remarked that all the papers had sold out (yes, the shop, Martin McColls, was open, as they also sell groceries)! :D
