Membership Benefits

We are committed to encouraging public understanding and appreciation of Scotland’s historic built environment. Working across Scotland, the Society supports the preservation and restoration of historic buildings, towns and landscapes.

As a member, you immediately become part of the Society’s campaign to protect Scotland’s built heritage. Even if you take no active part, your support is vital to the Society.

Benefits include:

Participation in the Society’s active regional events programme including our ever popular National Study Tour.

A free copy of our brilliant magazine and our renowned academic journal, Architectural Heritage as and when it is published.  The Society’s magazine provides a roundup of current news from within the built environment sector in Scotland, with features from our regional groups and guest contributors.

When funding is available, the Society also produces an academic Journal with essays on architectural history and conservation.  This is the only publication of new architectural heritage research in the country.

The Society has a network of local cases panels which monitor applications for planning, listed building, and conservation area consents.

A lively programme of architecture-related talks and lectures are organised across the Society’s regional groups.

A variety of excursions to historic properties, gardens and places of architectural interest are regularly organised by the Society’s regional groups.
