My family and I have read The Oban Times for many generations. It is a very special newspaper in the format it was printed as a broadsheet, as it kept something of the ‘heart’ of the areas and the people it covered. We are not of the cities, but of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and we are diTherent. The new format newspaper doesn’t have that special touch, of opening the big pages and poring over them to see what is going on.
I realise time moves on and things change, but I much prefer the old format.
It will now just sit in the newspaper stands with the rest of the papers and not stand out like it used to.
