From SGTS' website: 'The very specific mission of the SGTS means that our membership has never been large, and while there has always been a very strong Scottish representation, our members are scattered throughout the world, e.g. in Ireland, Canada, USA, Australia, and Finland.

The responsibility for running the SGTS falls on our office-bearers and Executive Council. Past office-bearers have included some of the most eminent Gaelic scholars of their day, such as Prof. W. J. Watson, Prof. Angus Matheson, Dr John Lorne Campbell and Prof. Derick Thomson.'
