The Sunday Mail reports that 100,000 marched in Glasgow to send a message to Tony Blair, who was addressing Labour's conference in the city.

One of the prime minister's closest cabinet colleagues openly admitted that Mr Blair had put his political life on the line by backing war against Iraq, reports Scotland on Sunday.

Turning to other news, the paper says a government report found that one billion litres of drinking water are lost every day because of the crumbling state of Scotland's pipeline network.

The Sunday Mail reports that a laird left almost penniless by a crooked accountant is to hire private detectives to track down his missing fortune.

The Sunday Post tells how a major emergency operation sprang into action when a lorry transporting radioactive material crashed and caught fire.
