The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, or RIAS, is the professional body for architects in Scotland.
It was given its first Royal charter in 1922, followed by a second in 1929.
The Incorporation is an independent body representing chartered architects working in Scotland although it consults regularly with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) regarding UK-wide professional issues.

 The Future of Scotland’s Architecture, Conservation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
According to architect James Simpson, Historic Scotland is staffed by "busy functionaries with strong opinions" who showed "arrogance, presumptiveness and a lack of respect for the views of outsiders".
Architects, as Simpson said, "like to be at the best parties" and want to build in the most desirable places.
As a result, architects were "forced to drop contemporary ideas", and he warned that Scotland would be seen as "a nerveless country" if all it did was preserve the past.
