The SNP's Growth Commission is about to shake up the argument for independence - so what do the papers have to say ahead of its publication?
The Scottish Daily Express have... really reached about as far as possible to get another odd royal family story on the front cover.
They have also given a wee bit of coverage to the SNP's commission. Apparently it'll result in more migrants.
We can safely assume the Express does not like that, which is funny really, since they've had a photo of Meghan Markle on just about every front cover this week.
The Scottish Daily Mail have led with unemployment figures today, and branded the Growth Commission's results as "fantasy". That's very impressive given that they haven't even seen them yet.
Meanwhile, they've also asked one of the big questions we've all been thinking: Have parents made Calpol the "heroin of childhood"? I'm going to give that one a big no.
The Daily Record is one of the few papers not leading with a story on the Growth Commission today, instead leading with a shocking story about the abuse a civil servant recieved for speaking out about sexism and racism in the workplace.
Nicola Sturgeon has been urged to step in.
The Herald looks at how the Growth Commission will focus on the success of small countries.
There's also an opinion piece on Ruth Davidson laughing all the the way to the polls. Given their recent disasterous performance, I wouldn't be too quick to count those chickens.
A focus on the success of other small countries like Scotland also leads on the front page of the i.
They've also picked out an amusing little prediction about the next referendum too, whether they've realised it or not. While the SNP report is all about a fresh look at what independence could mean, "opposition critics" have right off the bat made the same tired "warnings" that we've already heard.
Plus, death metal yoga? Colour me intrigued.
And finally, our own front cover.
We've got some exclusive details ahead of the Commission's launch tomorrow.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
