Radio Saltire began life as East Lothian FM in August 2011 when a group of enthusiasts gathered to discuss the possibility of creating an Online Community Radio Station to serve the county of East Lothian here in Scotland. We acquired and self-financed a small studio and broadcasting commenced on the 10th October 2011. Since then we have been broadcasting 24/7 and our listening audience has grown to astonishing levels. Many of our listeners live outwith the county and our popularity is growing throughout the whole of Scotland – and overseas.
