The Association for Scottish Literary Studies (ASLS) is a Scottish educational charity,[1] founded in 1970 to promote and support the teaching, study and writing of Scottish literature. Its founding members included the Scottish literary scholar Matthew McDiarmid (1914–1996). Originally based at the University of Aberdeen, it moved to its current home within the University of Glasgow in 1996. In November 2015, ASLS was allocated £40,000 by the Scottish Government to support its work providing teacher training and classroom resources for schools.[2]

ASLS's main field of activity is publishing, and the organisation is a member of Publishing Scotland.[3]
