The Scottish History
Society is a registered charity and the leading publisher of original
sources relating to the history of Scotland. Founded in 1886, the
Society has published over 170 volumes; taken together, these form a
collection of great richness and variety illustrating the history of the
nation as recorded by contemporaries.
Scottish History Society volumes cover all periods from the twelfth to
the twentieth centuries and a very wide range of topics – social,
economic, legal, political, constitutional, diplomatic, military and
religious history, as well as farming, gardening and the joys of good
housekeeping! In addition to making available sources vital to the study
and writing of Scottish history, most volumes have substantial
introductions by the editors. The volumes are thus not only of value to
professional historians and teachers of history, but to all who take an
interest in Scotland’s past.
Our work depends on the generosity of our membership, which allows us to
fund the publication of our volumes, and to promote the study of and
research in the history of Scotland and the Scots, supporting the
discipline into the twenty-first century.
If you have a real interest in Scotland and her past, then the Society
asks you to consider seriously becoming a member. As a member you will
be giving active support to one of the oldest and most valuable projects
in Scottish historical studies; payment of the due subscription entitles
you to receive a free copy of each of the Society’s publications. These
normally consist of one volume (attractively produced and bound) each
year.
