Founded in 1836, the Stirling Observer can rightly lay claim to being one of the best-known newspaper titles in Scotland-covering a circulation area that sprawls over 1,000 square miles.
From the eastern shores of Loch Lomond, through the Trossachs to Highland communities such as Tyndrum and Crianlarich and on to the villages in the shadows of the Ochil Hills-the Observer covers them all.
The Stirling Observer strives to campaign for local issues and maintain the strong relationship it has built up with the community over 167 years of dedicated service. It is the leading title in the area, but our devoted staff are keenly aware that they cannot rest on their laurels and constantly strive for improvement.
Twice weekly, the people of Stirling rush to buy their copy of the Observer for the high-quality writing, photography and advertising it offers. Be it the Wednesday edition-that focuses on Stirling City and the Hillfoots with sporting reviews-or the Friday edition with its dedicated coverage from the City westward to ScotlandÕs new National Park in the Trossachs with special environmental and leisure sections and sporting previews.
A companion title, the free Stirling and Alloa Shopper is also produced each week. This title with its leisure and lifestyle content complements the news coverage contained within the Stirling Observer. These titles ensure that Scottish & Universal NewspapersÂ’ coverage in the Stirling area is second to none
