S o long, 2016 – it’s been . . . unreal, to say the least. But before we say Knuckling down to some festive-period planning? Pick up our annual
goodbye forever to this mind-bending year, there’s plenty of fun to be had.
Christmas Wish List for everything from pantos to gift ideas, and your ultimate guide to Edinburgh’s Hogmanay – both bundled up in this bumper edition. There are more Christmas tips in this issue, too (page 48), and the lovely Paolo
Nutini took some time out to talk to us before his historic two-date Edinburgh’s Hogmanay appearance (page 52).
We’ve also been chatting to director Amma Asante about her upcoming film, A United Kingdom (page 56), and as Oscar season comes calling, turn to page 88 for reviews and round-ups of winter’s film releases. But most of all, this issue is all about The List Hot 100 – our very favourite time
of year. Our annual list of the most exciting figures in Scottish arts and culture is back for its 14th outing – and we can assure you, we’ve had plenty of heated discussions about this one. Turn to page 21 to start the countdown, and join the infighting friendly debate at #ListHot100.

HOT 100 Every year we have a right old bun fight over who should appear in our countdown of Scottish culture’s major players. 2016 was certainly no exception, but the ongoing battles have been worth it as we now have a Hot 100 to be proud of. Actors, authors, comedians, DJs, festivals, film directors, foodies, musicians, poets, venues and visual artists are all represented. But who has claimed the coveted number 1 slot previously occupied by the likes of Peter Capaldi, Franz Ferdinand and Armando Iannucci?
