WELL-known former newspaper editor (and regular writer on allmediascotland.com), Bill Heaney, has collaborated on a project to the line the walls of a hotel with pages from its very own newspaper.
The Dumbuck Times is the brainchild of Bill and former journalist-turned-PR-person, Petra McMillan, whose family own the refurbished Dumbuck House Hotel, in West Dunbartonshire.
Heaney is a former editor of the Lennox Herald and was a special adviser to former First Minister, Henry McLeish.
McMillan, meanwhile, joined DC Thomson as a school leaver at 17, and worked for its titles, The Courier, The Evening Telegraph and The Sunday Post – as a news reporter and, briefly, as a sub-editor.
She then joined PR firm, Beattie Media, working her way up from account manager to director.
