The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland has published the latest edition of the RIAS Directory of Architects' Practices and launched a new online service. The Directory and website together provide details of almost 600 architects' practices across the whole of Scotland and feature extensive illustrated practice portfolio and project gallery sections. The RIAS Directory is the definitive guide to chartered architects and their services in Scotland and gives guidance on using a chartered architect and all aspects of the building process including developing a brief, budgeting and the various project stages. The RIAS Directory of Architects' Practices 2004-2005 is available from RIAS Bookshops in Edinburgh and Glasgow at £20. The online directory can be found at http://www.rias.org.uk/directory.
