Printing of Johnston Press’ three Edinburgh-based titles has now moved out of the city.

Last month the company announced it was proposing to print The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday at Trinity Mirror’s plant in Glasgow and the Edinburgh Evening News at News International’s ‘Eurocentral’ facility, 30 miles west of the capital.

It comes as a result of closure of the Edinburgh print plant with around 100 jobs expected to be lost.

Other titles produced at the plant will be published at JP’s base in Sunderland.

North East newspapers feature on a new version of the Monopoly board game for County Durham.

Past and present staff from the Llanelli Star gathered to celebrate the paper’s 100th anniversary.
