Record edges back on Sun lead

It was pretty much a case of ‘as you were’ last month, in the race to be the biggest-selling daily newspaper in Scotland, with the Sun’s average circulation in December remaining at around 33,000 copies ahead of its rival, the Daily Record.

To be more accurate, the gap of 33,583 in November narrowed slightly to 32,807 last month. But a sterner test of the Sun’s sales lead will come with this month’s ABC figures, with the newspaper having last week increased its price from 10p to 15p.
