The Inverness Oran was born in the spring of 1976, owners are, Eleanor Macdonald, Rankin MacDonald and Frank MacDonald. The Oran employs 12 people as well as columnists and those who help get it into the homes. Without the loyalty of its readers The Oran would not have survived for four decades. Oran is the Gaelic word for song and we can only hope that we have sung the songs of Inverness County well for the many years we have been together.
