What's taken the front page of Friday's newspaper?
The Scotsman has taken it's lead from the Ruth Davidson Party today.
During First Minister's Questions yesterday, Davidson claimed that the number of subjects on offer to school pupils were shrinking.

The Herald has also decided to lead on education today.
While the top line seems to suggest that pupils probably just need a good belting to get back in line, reading past that reveals that teachers themselves blame poverty and budget cuts.
The front page also features a photo of Ruth Davidson next to a large artillery gun. No surpises there, I guess.

The i has also led with a story from First Minister's Questions yesterday.
Murdo Fraser raised a question yesterday on whether or not the SNP were planning to give prisoners the right to vote.
I don't think there is a better example of the political make-up of the Scottish Parliament than what happened next.
The Tories said no prisoner should have the right to vote. The SNP said some prisoners should have the right to vote. The Greens said every prisoner should have the right to vote.

To absoltely everyone's genuine surprise, the Scottish Daily Mail has nothing much to say at all on its front page today.
Mentions of the Royal Wedding: 1 (but it's a big one)
The Scottish Sun has followed along with this one.
Mentions of the Royal Wedding: 1 (but with further coverage on pages 4, 5, 28 and 29)
The Daily Star has led with the story of a horrific murder in the bookies. Wait, no... It's actually about cutting maximum stakes on fixed odds betting.

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!
