Dundee & District Philatelic Society is a local society (founded in 1905) and is the oldest active society in Scotland. It is devoted to the collecting and study of philately and meets regularly between September and April each year.
Do you have an interest in Stamp Collecting, Postal History or any other branch of philately?, then why not come along to one of our meetings and meet other people interested in the same hobby. Our current membership stands at 33, the majority of whom attend most of our meetings.
