The origins of our association date back to the late 19th century when there was increased interest in national organisation and the improvement of all things rural, people, communities, agricultural practices, the Lowlands, Highlands and Islands. Many intellectual societies had formed previously during the 'Scottish Enlightenment' of the 18th century patronised by some of Scotland's most famous sons: Adam Smith, Francis Hutcheson, James Watt, John Playfair, James Hutton, Robert Adam, Robert Burns, James Anderson, Adam Ferguson, Thomas Reid and more. Many of these continued contributing greatly to British science well into the 19th century, their achievements influencing the next generations and shape of the countryside we see today.
