History
In 2004, nine months of head-to-head competition with a rival title ended with The Hebridean ceasing publication. Following this, the Gazette acquired the title and the publication rights to The Hebridean.[2]
Johnston Press, the Edinburgh-based newspaper group, became the paper owner in 2004 when they bought Score Press, a division of Scottish Radio Holdings.[3]
In 2013, when the Gazette was 96 years old, it was decided to relaunch as a compact.[4]
It was awarded the 2013 Newspaper of the Year award at the annual Highlands and Islands Media Awards.[5]
