THE Ferret's investigation into "Who Runs Scotland" is running in the Sunday National throughout April.
Every week the investigative journalism outlet is examining power and influence in our country, and revealing who's really holding sway inside and outside the parliamentary walls.
You can read these investigations in the Sunday National, on our website, or you can get them direct to your inbox by subscribing to our Ferret newsletter.
Karin Goodwin, co-editor of The Ferret, said: "Four years ago, we published our first series looking at where power lies in Scotland.
"Now with Scottish Parliamentary elections looming in 2026 we're re-investigating Who Runs Scotland.
"It can sometimes seem power and influence is confined to Holyrood and Westminster. But who is influencing our politicians? What power is held outside of parliament?
"Throughout April, this member-funded series will investigate business interests, lobbying and PR firms, examine the affairs of the wealthy and delve into the foreign interests that leverage power in Scotland.
