Content

The editorial team are always keen to receive contributions from residents, be they articles about local events and activities, community issues, historical connections, poems or just humorous stories. We have a section on local events so that residents can read what is going on and if you are planning something, be it a one-off event or a regular activity, please let us know. We are always looking for local, quirky cover photos too!

Advertising

The MBC News Magazine is entirely funded by advertising revenue and so we are very appreciative of the large and small, local businesses that support us year after year. The magazine is a valuable resource for residents to find local services whether that may be a painter, an estate agent. a pharmacy or even a good school.

If your business is interested in advertising in the MBC News Magazine to reach 5.500 households in the Cults, Bieldside, Milltimber and Countesswells areas please get in touch.  You can find out more details about our pricing and available sizes on the right.
