History

In September 1999, when Editor Jim Cassidy was sacked, the paper's circulation was 767,000. Its nearest rival was the Scottish edition of the ''News of the World'' which sold around 350,000 copies at that time.

As of December 2016, the ''Sunday Mail'' had a circulation of 172,513. This decreased to 166,195 in February 2017, 159,880 in April 2017, 152,892 in July 2017 and 104,608 in March 2020.

On 12 May 2019, the ''Sunday Mail'' announced its support for the Scottish Greens in the upcoming 2019 European Parliament election, EU elections, becoming the first major publication in Scotland to back the party, despite disagreeing with the Greens' pro-independence stance.

It should not be confused with ''The Mail on Sunday''; the ''Daily Mail'' was unable to use the title ''Sunday Mail'' when it launched a Sunday edition in 1982 because of the Scottish paper.
