The PAS runs programmers of monthly lectures by leading authorities, which either take place in Edinburgh or at PICTAVIA (nr. Brechin), but are complemented by seminars and other meetings around Scotland throughout the year. Since 1992 the Society has also staged an annual conference in which all aspects of our Pictish heritage have been explored, including the problems caused to the stones by weathering and pollution. The PAS Conference moves around Scotland to meet a growing number of new members, and also forms the venue for our our AGM and the selection of our Committee.
Our activities also reflect the growing awareness and use of our Pictish symbolism by artists and craft workers. Wherever possible Conferences are supported by craft fairs and exhibitions designed to heighten public awareness of the Pictish stones. Field trips also form an important part of the PAS calendar and are often accompanied by illustrated field guide publications.

As a Member of the PAS you will receive our Journal, which is usually published twice a year. This publication has now developed into an important and stimulating contribution to contemporary Pictish studies. It has become the forum for new ideas and information in the field and is enjoyed by both the professional and the interested enthusiast alike. There is also a quarterly Newsletter which serves to keep members informed of local events and PAS News.

During our existence we have also developed an extensive archive of books and other publications, including photography and artwork. Access to this collection is available to to PAS Members at Pictavia. Its importance as a source of material to students and others can only increase..

By subscribing to become a PAS Member you will be helping to further the awareness of the PICTs and their unique art. You will also be helping us to further the preservation of the remaining Pictish stones through publicizing the plight of our ancient carved stone heritage.
