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. Thank you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time.
A CHARITY single written, recorded and performed as a tribute for NHS workers has picked up an award at this year s Scots Trad Music Awards. The annual event was broadcast last night as artists from Scotland s traditional music scene were recognised for brilliant achievements and stand-out releases. And among the worthy winners from last night s broadcast included the NHS charity single Everyday Heroes , which won Original Work of the Year. Skerryvore member Martin Gillespie said he wrote the track to pay tribute to the hundreds of thousands of NHS staff, volunteers, and key workers who are risking so much to fight Covid-19 and keep us all safe.
