THE Daily Telegraph has enjoyed a year-on-year increase in its average daily sale in Scotland.
According to the Audit Bureau of Circulation, the paper’s average sale in Scotland was 17,696 during November last year and an average 18,404 last month – representing a four per cent increase, year-on-year.
Its Sunday sister was also a riser, year-on-year, by 0.6 per cent, from an average 15,922 copies sold each edition in Scotland during November last year to an average 16,022 last month.
But elsewhere, as ever, there were year-on-year falls.
The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday no longer appear in the national listings after having requested – like The Herald and Sunday Herald last year – to appear in the twice-yearly ABC regional newspapers report.
