Scottish Women's Institutes (original) (raw)

The Scottish Women's Institutes (SWI), informally called "the Rural", is a registered charity which promotes the preservation of Scotland's traditions and rural heritage, particularly in the sphere of household activities. It does so by means of local groups of women which meet regularly throughout the country. The group's magazine, Scottish Home and Country was first published in 1924. The name changed to Scottish Women's Institutes in 2015.
