West Highland Free Press

The West Highland Free Press is a weekly tabloid newspaper published on Fridays and distributed extensively throughout the West Highlands and Western Isles.

It’s published by the West Highland Publishing Co. Ltd from their offices in Broadford, Isle of Skye.

It was founded in 1972 as a left-wing newspaper. Its reporting is largely shaped by its stance on the land ownership issue, in which it opposes the present domination by private landlords (its masthead slogan, taken from the 19th-century Highland Land League, is: “An Tir, an Canan ’sna Daoine - The Land, the Language, the People”).

It claims to publish more written (Scottish) Gaelic material than any other newspaper. Its name in Gaelic is Am Pàipear Beag (”The Little Paper”).
