Mabel,

Another interesting newspaper is "The Scottish Banner" www.scotishbanner.com
which "celebrates its 25th year of continuously publishing every month". It
states"this publication first saw the light of day in Canada ... first of
all in Ontario, and soon afterwards across Canada". It is very
interesting - check it out.
