One email, first thing

Everything on your watchlist that moved overnight, in a single briefing before your first meeting — and what’s being asked in the chamber in the days ahead, while there’s still time to do something about it. Nothing you didn’t ask for, and nothing to check by hand.

Brief in minutes

Full answer text the morning it lands, and one-click CSV export when you need the whole picture in a spreadsheet.

From lodged to answered

Every question you track carries its current status and the days left on the ten-working-day clock, so you always know where it stands. When the answer lands, it’s in the next morning’s briefing with the full text.

Lodged
We read the Scottish Parliament's own record every morning, so a question lodged this afternoon is on your watchlist tomorrow.
Awaiting answer
Ministers have ten working days to reply, and you can see how many are left. It stays on your watchlist until they do.
Answered
You get a briefing first thing every morning with the latest on everything on your watchlist, full answer text included.

Who it’s for

Holyrood Watch is made for public affairs — in-house and agency — and everyone whose job depends on being across Scottish Parliament activity.

In-house public affairs

Follow the portfolios you work on. Draft your lines to take before the meeting, not after it.

Public affairs agencies

Keep an alert per client and send same-day updates without living in the Bulletin.

Trade bodies & charities

Public affairs is one of your jobs, not your job. One briefing each morning, and you know what’s coming in the chamber before it happens.

Regulated businesses

No public affairs team, plenty at stake. Follow the portfolio that regulates your sector and hear the morning it moves.

Researchers, journalists and campaigners use it too — but it’s built around the public affairs workflow first.

£12 a month

Written and oral questions at Holyrood, searchable from the day they're published, with a briefing each morning on the ones you're tracking. A fraction of what UK-wide monitoring services charge. The free tier is a real tier, not a countdown to a paywall.
