The Stornoway Gazette is a local newspaper reporting on local issues in the Western Isles of Scotland, specifically Stornoway and the Outer Hebrides.

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.[1]

Johnston Press, the Edinburgh-based newspaper group, became the owner of the paper in 2004 when they bought Score Press, which had been a division of Scottish Radio Holdings.[2]

In 2013, when it was 96 years old, it was decided that it would relaunch as a compact.[3]

It was awarded 2013 Newspaper of the Year at the annual Highlands and Islands Media Awards.[4]
