Staff at a Scottish weekly have said goodbye to the home of their newspaper for the past seven decades.

The Arbroath Herald team is now settling into new premises in the centre of the east Scotland town.

The town's former Brothock Mill housed the newspaper from 1936 but a year ago new landlords secured planning permission to turn the building into 40 flats.

Editor Brian Stormont said: "We were only occupying a small part of it – the printing works were part of the operation but they closed down when Johnston Press bought the Arbroath Herald.

"This move has been discussed for a long, long time.

"Everything is going really well. They're smaller premises but we're fitting in nicely.

"We're in the centre of town, a stone's throw from the court house and close to the police station.

"From our point of view it's a great move – we're all the more accessible to the public."

The Arbroath Herald's first home where the paper lived until its move to the Brothock Mill in 1936.
