At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income.
In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However,
rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free.
To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic. The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thanks you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time

John Nicholson took the title for his short film, Bron, which explores isolation. FilmG is MG ALBA’s Gaelic short film competition which helps develop new talent for the Gaelic channel BBC ALBA. John said: “I had a work experience placement with BBC Alba when I was in school which piqued my interest in television. Before that I don’t think I had ever thought how much work goes into making programmes.” John grew up in Glasgow and attended the Glasgow Gaelic School where he learned to read, write and speak Gaelic. His family originates from the Hebridean Isle of Uist which is why he wanted to learn about the language and culture.
