The brainchild of a number of people
who in the 1930s saw a need to interest the Scots themselves in their own
rich culture - the arts, literature, music and also their country´s
history and its environment. The name Saltire is
taken from the saltire, the heraldic name of the Cross of St. Andrew.
The Society today continues to follow its forebears´ example, but in
addition and with exciting times ahead - in Europe and the Scottish Parliament
- the Society is developing closer links with other EU countries and is conscious
of the need to advise the new Parliament on Scottish cultural matters.
The aim of the Saltire Society is to
preserve all that is best in Scottish tradition and to encourage every new
development which can strengthen and enrich the country's cultural life.
