About Us
OLDEST newspaper in Wigtownshire — and the best seller!
That’s the Stranraer & Wigtownshire Free Press which has been recording the happenings in the Shire for the last 164 years.
And the good news is that sales, which have grown consistently over the years, continue to rise.
Thanks to the loyalty of our readers, who obviously know a good product when they see one, our strength in Stranraer has never been greater.
And with increased sales in the Machars we can now proudly boast that 92 per cent of all adults living within a 30 minute drive time of Stranraer, read this newspaper.
Key to this success has been our drive and desire to cater for people living in Wigtownshire.
We are now selling over 7500 copies each week — and aiming to increase that to 8000 before long.
Nobody else comes close.
