What the Scottish Sundays say

The Scotland on Sunday says a multi-million pound scheme has been launched to halt serious alcohol problems before they take hold in social drinkers who are unaware they are exceeding safe limits.

The Sunday Herald warns that Scots are drinking twice as much as previously thought.

The Sunday Mail claims to expose the "blood-soaked" rise and fall of Scotland's most powerful gangster.

Scots are twice as likely to be knifed to death or end up in hospital with stab wounds as people in England, according to the Sunday Post.

The Scottish Sunday Express tells how one of the stars of the new Harry Potter film has died after he tried to protect his brother from a knife attack.

The News of the World says a "callous scumbag" cashed in on the death of Celtic legend Tommy Burns by scrounging free invites to his funeral - and selling them.

Thousands of Scots families have been plunged into negative equity as the value of their homes has crashed by up to 50%, claims the Scottish Mail on Sunday.

The Sunday Times reports that David Miliband is preparing to throw his hat into the ring in a leadership contest to "save new Labour" after the party's disastrous defeat in last week's Crewe and Nantwich by-election.
