All About The Bellman

Stonehaven’s volunteer-run online newspaper, The Bellman.

Who are we? Many people have been supportive of the venture - but functionally, The Bellman is Jane Cruickshank, a former Mearns Leader reporter; John Cruickshank, who takes lots of photographs; George Reid, who links to Facebook; Martin Sim, who writes great heritage articles; Lisa Lawman, who helps post news stories; and the ‘Mearns Rover’ who has just joined with a great nostalgia piece, but who threatens to write more.

We started The Bellman at the beginning of 2019 and have allowed the platform to grow at its own pace. Word of mouth and the sharing of Facebook posts have taken an increasing number of visitors to the site.

By October we had reached over 5,500 unique visitors to the site per month. The site has now had over 1,000,000 hits.

You can reach the site by clicking on one of the Facebook posts - which are mostly links to a story about Stonehaven.

THE BELLMAN IS A SHARING PLATFORM - SEND US YOUR NEWS!

Now we need your help. We would like you to send us your group’s news items, event information and reports, and as many pictures as possible, so we can start to populate the website with everything that’s happening in Stonehaven.

We also would welcome anyone from your group who would be interested in helping with The Bellman – be a community reporter, help with IT or be one of the site administrators.

News articles should be sent to [email protected]

REMEMBER, YOU WILL BE REACHING OVER 5,500 THROUGH THE BELLMAN

We will read everything before posting, so don’t get too worried if you don’t think your spelling is perfect!

The Bellman is still work in progress.

THE BELLMAN AIMS TO BELONG TO THE COMMUNITY

For that reason we are about to form a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation. We hope to have as many groups join as members.

Are you interested? email [email protected]

We look forward to hearing from you.
