Scottish Women's Institutes
The Scottish Women's Rural Institutes (SWRI), informally called "the Rural",[1] 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. Until 2015, the charity was known as Scottish Women's Rural Institutes.[2]
It was formed in 1917 as part of the movement of rural women's institutes started in Stoney Creek, Ontario in 1897. The first meeting in Scotland look place at Longniddry in East Lothian.[3]
