Why join the Saltire Society

Membership offers a chance to connect with people who share similar interests at in-person and online events providing food for thought and inspiration from artists and thinkers. Our members come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and have a range of varied political views. There is always something interesting to talk about.

There are opportunities to get involved in campaigning and advocacy for the arts, to help support a range of prizes recognising outstanding contributions to Scottish culture and to help us to support artists in other ways.

Our members share a passion and love of Scottish culture. In communities across Scotland, members come together to share this passion. This is a chance to connect with people who share common interests, and these interests inform branch programmes.

Branches meet regularly in person in Kirriemuir, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The Aberdeen and North East branch meets regularly by Zoom with some in-person get-togethers, and the Highland branch meets for special events, usually in Inverness. All members are welcome at any branch events.

From talks or organised visits at local branches, to the Annual Saltire Lecture, concerts, book launches or one of the Awards ceremonies – there’s usually something going on. We look forward to seeing you!
