History of the IAAS
The Institute of Auctioneers and Appraisers in Scotland has a long and proud heritage representing the interests of livestock markets, valuers and auctioneers across Scotland since 1926. We currently have 23 corporate members and 185 individual members.
For over 100 years our members have been involved in the marketing of livestock mainly through the ring and also on an agency basis acting as brokers for farm entitlements, feedstuffs and other goods. They undertake land sales and valuations, act as valuers of livestock, farm equipment and compensation claims. Some of our members conduct sales of antiques, collectables and specialist auctions.
