We were thrilled to welcome the Annual Congress of the Association of Scottish Philatelic Societies (ASPS) to the Vine Conference Centre in Dunfermline on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th April 2025. This major event in the Scottish philatelic calendar brought together collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts from across the country for a packed and vibrant two-day event.

This year’s congress was hosted by the Glasgow Thematic Society

We were excited and honoured to bring this prestigious event to Dunfermline, and we’re delighted to report it was very well attended, with a steady buzz of activity throughout the venue. 22 dealers confirmed attendance, offering everything from rare stamps to collecting supplies, and the layout of the Cairngorm Hall provided an excellent space for browsing, networking, and engaging with fellow philatelists.

A big thank you to the event sponsor Tom Rielly Display, whose support helped make the event a great success.

The Congress cover and Royal Mail Cancellation were popular highlights, and visitors had the opportunity to stop by Robert Murray Stamp Shop on stands 47–49, where Robert offered a valuation service for members of the public keen to learn more about how to dispose of or sell their stamp collections.

Feedback from the exhibitors was fantastic—they loved the venue, praising the space, facilities, and warm welcome they received here at the Vine Conference Centre.

It was a pleasure to host the ASPS Congress and to welcome so many passionate collectors to Dunfermline. We hope to see everyone back again soon!
