The 2005 edition of NorthLink’s award-winning magazine, Northbound, will soon be rolling off the presses and local companies are being given the opportunity to book advertising space now.

Packed with news and features on NorthLink and the Northern Isles, content will include stories on local events, food and drink, crafts, history and tourist attractions as well as profiles of NorthLink staff and local personalities. 

More than 40,000 copies of the free, 50-page magazine will be produced for distribution on the NorthLink fleet by Lerwick-based Shaw Marketing and Design. The magazine is due to appear on board in April.

With a shelf-life of one year, Northbound will appear in time for the summer season and is of interest to all passengers, from children and islanders to business travellers and tourists.

Elaine Tulloch, NorthLink marketing manager, said: “Now in its second edition, Northbound has been a terrific success since its launch and we’re confident that this year’s magazine will continue to impress.

“Well written and well read, the latest edition of the magazine will contain a wide range of features highlighting the distinct attractions of the Northern Isles and provide useful information for visitors to the islands.“
