Beer and community

The third issue of 2025 will be hitting the shops this Friday, but if you're a digital subscriber you can download it in full colour from the bottom of this post right now (but you may need to login to our website first).

If you want to read this issue (and every single one of our previous issues back to 1978) but are not currently a paying subscriber then you can subscribe now by tapping the button below.

It's another packed issue. We lead with 10 questions with local brewer, James Struthers. We found out how he ended up running a brewery in Wester Ross, as well as the unexpectedly tricky side to running a business in The Highlands. He also lets us in on the secret of how he chooses which beers to brew.

Also in this issue:

• Mink control volunteers wanted
• What to do about the scourge of dog poo?
• West Coast Arts reveals 2025 program
• Yet another controversial phone mast
• Donations call for High School sale
• 3 pages of jobs and the highly coveted local events diary.
• ...and lots more!
