Media resources & press releases
In 2015 we launched our vision for the future of Scottish mountains, a
vision focused on safeguarding natural beauty, capitalising on leisure
and tourism for sustainable economic development, and community-led
small-scale developments in renewable energy.
An information resource for journalists writing about mountaineering issues. You will find background information about mountaineering, with a special emphasis on winter, and explanations of many frequently misunderstood aspects of the pastime. There is also a glossary to make clear many of the specialist terms used within the mountaineering world.
