An open letter to the readership of the Kintyre Forum

[cgms310]

Dear Kintyre Forum Friends,

During the past week, I have had the privilege of reading back issues (supplied to me by my cousin Alexander Stewart here in Ontario) of the Kintyre Magazine from 1977 onwards.

There is no doubt in my mind, that the content of these magazines have contributed to the beautiful mosaic that is Argyll and has helped many of us both at home and abroad, in the search for our ancestral roots.

With that in mind, I had an idea which some of you may have previously thought about, but had not formulated a plan to perhaps put this idea into action.

What does the readership of the Kintyre Forum feel about a possible revival of the Kintyre Magazine, once edited by the late A.I.B.Stewart?

If the cost of printing is the issue, what about transforming the magazine into an electronic “E-Zine”, which would be purely an Internet accessible document?

Perhaps the Kintyre Forum itself might consider hosting such a page, with monthly written contributions from their readership, many of whom I am sure, could fill ten such publications with their stories and pictures.

I would be very interested in your thoughts and suggestions.

Regards,



Charles.

[History]

Charles, the Kintyre Magazine is still being printed and sold. There are 2 issues a year and the editor is now Angus Martin. I can let you know what the rates are for a sub to be sent to you and I can PM you with the address to write to with details if you wish to take out a subscription.

There was a mention of some articles from the mag being highlighted on here. I will try and find out what is happening regarding that.

Hello History!

What wonderful news!

I had made the assumption that the magazine was "suspended", based on the internet site having been closed by Angus.

If indeed the magazine is available, I would certainly take a subscription.

Many thanks for getting back to me.

Regards,



Charles.
