History

The Scottish Building Society was established in 1848 as the Edinburgh Property Investment Company. It changed its name to the Scottish Building Society in 1929.[3]

The Society has five branches in Edinburgh, Galashiels, Glasgow, Inverness and Troon, as well as a network of agents throughout Scotland.[4]

The Society became the first commercial sponsor of the Scottish Women's Premier League in 2017.
