Saltire Society

Description

The Saltire Society is one of Scotland’s leading supporters of culture. For over 85 years it has been committed to every part of Scottish life, from social housing and literature to public art and emerging creatives. Today, the Saltire Society upholds its founding principles of inspiring culture and provoking responsible debate for contemporary Scotland. The Society has a broad international outlook and is not affiliated with any political party. With its awards programme, the Saltire Society rewards excellence in literature, publishing, housing and art in public places. Through the Outstanding Women of Scotland community, it works to promote the contributions of women in Scotland. With the Fletcher of Saltoun Awards, it celebrates the contributions of individuals working in Arts and Humanities, Science, and Public Life. The Saltire Society acts as a catalyst to make things happen in Scotland. It wants to champion the best new ideas and help bring them to fruition. It hosts events, such as the annual Fletcher Lecture, supports the work of other organisations and offers funding through the society's bursaries.
