As of 11 January 2024, we’re sorry to say that The Villagers is no more. The current team has been putting the paper together for more than a decade now, and we’ve reached the stage where we haven’t been able to find anyone to take over the tasks of production, sales, editing and distribution. Rather than allow production to become a chore, it’s been decided to close the paper down now.
The Villagers was the community newspaper of Balquhidder, Strathyre, Lochearnhead & St Fillan’s, created by a dedicated team of contributors, editor and designer, a team which, in various incarnations, produced the paper for more than thirty years.
