Features Sneak Peek: September 5, 2020 Issue
Welcome to this week’s Features Sneak Peek! Our first September issue hits the shelves tomorrow and we can’t wait for you to pick it up.
On our cover this week, Willie Shand discovered the lesser known side of Inveraray, located in Argyll and Bute.
Did you know Inveraray as we know it today is not where the town was originally built? The town was originally closer to Inveraray Castle, however its residents were uprooted and the town rebuilt at its current location in the 1700s.
The setting of Inveraray might also be familiar from the writings of Neil Munro, who was born and bred in the town and used it as the backdrop for many of his famous short stories.
Read up on Inveraray in this week’s issue.
