The magazine has been in hiatus since issue 179, dated October 2016, due to John Hein suffering a minor stroke (he had resumed editorship of the magazine). However the website has been recently updated and ScotsGay expect to recommence publishing during Summer 2017.[3]

In the summer of 2019, it was announced that Taylor Crockett has taken over as editor with a brand new relaunch scheduled for April 2020.[4]

The magazine is based in Edinburgh.[5]
