Although published only since 1965, the Scottish Journal of Geology has a long pedigree. It is the joint publication of the Geological Society of Glasgow and the Edinburgh Geological Society, which prior to 1965 published separate Transactions: from 1860 in the case of Glasgow and 1863 for Edinburgh.

Traditionally, the Journal has acted as the focus for papers on all aspects of Scottish geology and its contiguous areas, including the surrounding seas. The publication policy has always been outward looking, with the Editors encouraging review papers and papers on broader aspects of the Earth sciences that cannot be discussed solely in terms of Scottish geology.

The diverse geology of Scotland continues to provide an important natural laboratory for the study of earth sciences; many seminal studies in geology have been carried out on Scottish rocks, and over the years the results of much of this work had been published in the Journal and its predecessors.

The Journal fully deserves its high reputation worldwide and intends to maintain its status in the front rank of publications in the Earth sciences.

尽管《苏格兰地质学杂志》自 1965 年才开始出版，但历史悠久。它是格拉斯哥地质学会和爱丁堡地质学会的联合出版物，在 1965 年之前，这两个学会出版了单独的期刊：格拉斯哥的期刊出版于 1860 年，爱丁堡的期刊出版于 1863 年。

传统上，该杂志关注的是苏格兰地质及其毗邻地区（包括周围海域）各个方面的论文。出版政策一直是向外看的，编辑们鼓励评论论文和关于地球科学更广泛方面的论文，而这些方面不能仅仅从苏格兰地质的角度来讨论。

苏格兰多样化的地质继续为地球科学研究提供重要的天然实验室；许多开创性的地质学研究都是针对苏格兰岩石进行的，多年来，这些研究的大部分成果都发表在该期刊及其前身期刊上。

该期刊在世界范围内享有盛誉，并打算保持其在地球科学出版物中的前列地位。
