Lothiansound

A weekly audio recording of local news and events on memory sticks.

Run entirely by volunteers and supplied free of charge to blind and partially-sighted listeners.

A registered Scottish charity, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, Lothiansound was founded in 1988. Since then, over 1,600 editions have been produced for hundreds of listeners.

Our aim is to keep blind and partially-sighted people with an interest in Edinburgh, the Lothians and Scotland, informed although anyone who finds reading a strain can benefit from our free service.

Even the postage is free to listeners who are registered blind or partially-sighted, thanks to the Post Office Articles for the Blind arrangement. Other listeners are asked to pay for postage only.

Weekly recordings include local news items, principally articles from Edinburgh Evening News.

Lothiansound is fortunate to have a band of loyal and hard-working volunteers and enthusiastic listeners whose support is invaluable.
