Dunoon Observer and Argyllshire Standard

The Dunoon Observer and Argyllshire Standard (commonly known locally as “The Standard”) is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold throughout the Cowal peninsula in Argyllshire, between Loch Fyne to the west and Loch Long and the Firth of Clyde to the east. A few copies are also sold in Greenock and Port Glasgow across the Clyde.

It was founded in 1871 as the Argyllshire Standard and Advertiser for the Coast and was originally based in Sandbank, just north of Dunoon; it moved to Dunoon in 1906. It’s published by independent publishers, printers and stationers E & R Inglis, who are based in Dunoon. It had only four editors from its foundation until 1982, all members of the Inglis family.

It comes out on Fridays.
