Our first paper of the New Year

The February edition of Am Pàipear is available to view on our website.

With our first paper of the New Year we have also introduced a new way to read online, with the option to download a pdf alongside the usual e-paper, both available on the Papers section of our website. You can now access the usual scrolling version of Am Pàipear or download the whole issue to read at your leisure, whether offline or on! We’re grateful for your feedback and hope this makes for a more enjoyable reading experience.

This month, we discuss all the latest news from the islands and beyond, including the historic Islands Growth Deal, the controversial introduction of Highly Protected Marine Areas and the ongoing ferry saga.

We have a great Opinion column this month from Hector Stewart of Kallin Shellfish Ltd, giving us the industry perspective on changes to fishing regulations. We also have the latest from our Councillor’s column, this month coming from Councillor Paul Steele, Leader of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, as well as inspiring success stories from Caraidean Uibhist and Uist Unearthed.

Thank you for supporting the Uist community newspaper – if there’s anything you’d like to contribute, then we would love to hear your feedback. Email us at: editor@ampaipear.org.uk
