I just read that the Society is now making available recordings of some of their lectures online. This is great as of course they are usually only held in Scotland so any of us outside Scotland don't get to listen to them.
You can get to their web site at http://www.socantscot.org
The Society hosts the prestigious Rhind Lectures each year, a series of six academic lectures by a single expert over the course of a weekend. The speaker is agreed some years in advance, and the number of lectures allows the lecturer to visit a topic in great detail. The Rhind lectures began in 1874 after the death of Alexander Rhind who left the residue of his estate to endow a lectureship in the Society, and this has come down to us over 131 lectures evolved into the discrete series presented today. Alexander Rhind's portrait can be seen on the Programme banner and here, and an introductory communication is traditionally read out at the beginning of each series.
They also have a couple of these available as well.
