End of an Era as The Shetland Times Ceases Local Printing After 150 Years

After more than 150 years of printing on Shetland, The Shetland Times has produced its final edition on island soil. The long-standing newspaper, recently acquired by Highland News & Media, will now be printed in Dundee and flown into Shetland for distribution.

It closes the press in Lerwick, run by the same family for generations. While printing has moved, editorial operations and the paper’s bookshop and publishing arms will remain on the island.
