At Scottish Building Society, we've been serving our members for 175 years and are proud to be the oldest remaining building society in the world. Having always operated as a mutual society - owned by and run for the benefit of our members, we've never deviated from our original purpose of helping people save money to help others buy homes.
Thank you for your continued support
"Although times may have changed since 1848, our mission to help our members save money and buy their home has remained consistent. I'm incredibly proud to lead our team as we celebrate a momentous milestone in Scottish Building Society’s history, reflecting on our achievements whilst also embracing a new chapter.
“The trust in our services from our members is what keeps the society alive, and we're incredibly grateful for their longstanding support. This year, we’re looking forward to celebrating 175 years of Scottish Building Society with members, community groups and local charities."
Paul Denton, CEO at Scottish Building Society
We commissioned the Edinburgh Maker, Hannah Lavery, to write a poem for us to commemorate this fantastic milestone.
Hannah perfectly captured our unique history, bringing our story to life in a heart warming poem called '175 Years of Scottish Building Society' and read it aloud to members at our AGM.
Watch Hannah read our poem below
