23 SEP – 7 OCT YOU’VE GOT 15 DAYS TO LIVE! In the past 25 years Scottish culture has surged forward, riding a wave created by a mid-80s creative boom of which The List played an important part. We're looking back this issue, with the help of the institutions that have been around as long as we have – digging around in long neglected archives for memorabilia of great gigs or classic theatre performances – but we're also looking forward, with a new look magazine that's fresher, bolder and, we hope, a more pleasing thing in general. We're celebrating the old, yes, but in a very new way. And we hope you continue to enjoy it.

25 years of The List The face of Scotland’s cultural scene has changed a lot over the past quarter century, and The List has been right in the thick of it. Check out our 20 page celebration of recent history, which kicks off on page 12.
