Justin Bieber posts Scottish island newspaper to 294 million followers

CANADIAN singer Justin Bieber has shared the front page of a Scottish island newspaper to his 294 million followers on Instagram.

Bieber posted a picture of the front page of the Stornoway Gazette, which is based in Lewis, to his millions of followers on Instagram yesterday.

The post showed Bieber and Finn Rush-Taylor on the front page. Bieber said with the caption: “Damn me and this fool Finn cookinnnnngggggg”.

To which Finn replied: “They ain’t ready broski” followed by emojis.

He later wrote, "Stornoway Gazette going off" with a laughing emoji.

The post has so far gained almost 200,000 likes and fans suspect a trainer brand between the two is to come.

Bieber’s also shared initial silhouettes of the new brand Skylrk, sparking anticipation for its unconventional footwear collection. 

Rush-Taylor, from Stornoway, runs a global footwear design consultancy working alongside industry leading brands and clients, including Adidas, Puma and Crocs, “bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds”.

After leaving the Nicolson Institute in Stornoway, he graduated in product design from Dundee University, specialising in trainers.

One fan wrote: "Is your Instagram having an identity crisis because wth is going on?"

Another tagged Bieber and said: "Come to Stornoway!"
