The Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland is concerned with the protection, preservation, study and appreciation of Scottish buildings. We have about 1500 members throughout Scotland and beyond, with six regional groups organising local activities and carrying out casework. We have three publications, the annual journal 'Architectural Heritage', the Magazine and the twice-yearly newsletter, 'AHSS News'. We have our own premises, providing offices and meeting rooms, the former Glasite Meeting House in the Edinburgh New Town.

The richness of the architectural heritage of Scotland is famous throughout the world, yet that heritage of castles, mansions and garden landscapes, ecclesiastical and industrial sites, cities, towns, villages and individual buildings is constantly under threat and in need of protection. Membership of the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland, which protects this heritage, is a must for anyone interested in the country's architecture.

Our web-site gives detailed information about these principal activities of the society and more. It is also a point of reference for our members, but it is no substitute for being involved in casework, or participating in a building visit, lecture or study tour. If you are not already a member, please join us. Whether your specific interest is the protection of our built heritage or a desire to know more about it, membership of the society is the passport to a better appreciation of Scotland's built heritage.
