Mountaineering Scotland is the only recognised representative organisation for hill walkers, climbers, mountaineers and ski-tourers who live in Scotland or who enjoy Scotland’s mountains, and acts to represent, support and promote Scottish mountaineering.
We offer training and information to mountain users to promote safety, self-reliance and the enjoyment of our mountain environment. We also campaign to protect Scotland's mountains and to protect access rights in those mountains.
Our funding comes from a combination of membership subscriptions, non-governmental grants and investment from sportscotland, which supports public initiatives and services in mountain safety, mountain weather forecasting, mountain training and the development and promotion of mountaineering activities.
Meet the staff who are responsible for the day to day running of Mountaineering Scotland, from providing training courses, to running climbing competitions, as well as admin.
The Board of Directors are volunteers who are responsible for overseeing the work of Mountaineering Scotland, working together with the paid staff to ensure the best possible service is provided for members.
In this section you’ll find details of our AGM, annual report and accounts, strategic plan and policies, articles of association, terms and condition, and – making far more rewarding reading for most – details of our associate and honorary members.
Welcome to the September monthly round-up from Mountaineering Scotland! At the end of each month, we take a look back at the work the team has been carrying out on behalf of our members. Read on to hear the latest updates from Access & Conservation Officer Davie Black, Senior Mountain Safety Advisor Ross Cadie, ClimbScotland Development Manager Jamie Smith, and Member Services & Communications Manager, Helen Gestwicki.
Mountaineering Scotland press releases are available to download from this section.
There are also useful media contacts and downloadable copies of our manifesto Respecting Scotland's Mountains and a Winter Mountaineering Media Pack which has useful background information for reporters writing about mountaineering issues.
