The first institute in Scotland was founded in 1917 at Longniddry, East Lothian A few months later in 1918 the Rural was started in Cousland, the second institute in Midlothian.

SWRI is an expanding and progressive organisation, with much to offer women of all ages Educational talks; demonstrations and classes in handicrafts and cookery; drama and choral activities and a varied programme of curling, bowling and Scottish country dancing.
