Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We're not exaggerating when we say the future of local newspapers and the vital service we have provided for many years is under threat.
Please consider supporting The Gazette in whatever way you can - by paying just 90p for a copy of the newspaper when you're shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others or by subscribing to our e-edition here.

A CHARITY which keeps blind and partially-sighted people up to date with the latest news is aiming to expand its service.
For almost 40 years, Renfrewshire Sound has provided a talking newspaper at no charge to those who would like to receive it.
Now bosses want to hear from anyone who has yet to sign up, especially if they are feeling isolated due to the coronavirus pandemic.
A spokesperson said: "Each week, we produce an 80-minute programme that features recordings of articles from the local media. Our service is available via the post on compact disc and USB stick, via our website at www.renfrewshiresound.com and via the British Wireless for the Blind Talking Newspaper App.
"A talking newspaper can play an important role in keeping blind and partially-sighted people up to date with what’s happening in the local community and may also help to reduce the impact of social isolation, particularly at this difficult time.
"If anyone knows a blind or partially-sighted person who would be interested in receiving Renfrewshire Sound or helping us produce it, please email us at renfrewshiresound@outlook.com."
