The Oban Times and West Highland Times

First published in 1861, The Oban Times quickly developed into the main weekly newspaper for the west coast of Scotland.

Affectionately known for many years as ‘ the Highlander’s Bible’, The Oban Times covers the largest geographical circulation area of any newspaper in the UK today and is eagerly read from the Firth of Clyde in the South to the Butt of Lewis in the North, with the newspaper’s heartland being Argyll and the high hills of Lochaber.

Our dedicated team of reporters and local correspondents bring you the highs and the lows of West Highland life in a style that reflects the unique nature of this beautiful and rapidly developing part of Scotland.

Proud to maintain its place as the best selling weekly newspaper in the West Highlands, The Oban Times now comes in its traditional broadsheet newspaper format, which can be purchased through your newsagent or online via our new digital editions. Backed up by a new-look website and lively local online forum, The Oban Times is your one-stop shop to life on Scotland’s west coast.
