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.

We also hold informal meetings on the 1st Thursday of each month between 10:00am and 12:00am at Roseangle

It is with sadness that I have to report the death of one of our Honorary Members - Sandra Campbell. Sandra was made an Honorary Member in 2011 as long-time supporter of the Society, particularly at the annual ASPS Congress. Members of DDPS also have fond memories of enjoying her home-made Christmas pudding at the final meeting of each calendar year.
