Arran Banner goes digital

Published on Mar 19, 2010

No matter where you are in the world, you can now buy the Arran Banner digitally on-line.

This means if you are across the Atlantic or just up the road at John O'Groats, you can pick up all the latest news, photos and views at the same time as family and friends at home in Arran every Friday morning from 7.30am.

Be the first to see the headlines, apply for that job or the first to make an offer on your ideal car.

No more reaching for the magnifying glass if your eye sight is not what it was, you can zoom in on stories and pictures - and even pick out the faces on the back row.

If you live abroad or your newsagent doesn’t stock the Arran Banner - buy a digital subscription and enjoy discussing the issues, photos and latest news with friends and family all over the world on the same day it hits the streets.
