It is not possible for DFID to show the "Scottish" proportion of our advertising spend in UK national newspapers/magazines, to the level of detail requested, because these national newspapers/magazines do not publish separate editions for Scotland.However, details of available DFID expenditure for advertising in newspapers/magazines which are specifically Scottish, for the calendar years 2000 to 2002 inclusive, are as follows:
| Calendar year | Advertising spend in Scottish Newspapers (£) |
| 2000 | 16,816.95 |
| 2001 | 37,614.24 |
| 2002 | 18,430.02 |
