Scottish Mountaineering Club

The Scottish Mountaineering Club

We produce the definitive Climbers' Guides to Scotland's mountains and outcrops, the authoritative guide to Munros and guides for hillwalkers and scramblers in Scotland.

We are pleased to announce the publication of the first definitive guide to Sport Climbing in Scotland, Scottish Sport Climbs. Coincidentally, coordinating author of the new guide and SMC President, Andy Nisbet, has recently celebrated his 60th birthday. You can read a humorous biography of Andy Nisbet written by Gary Latter on UKClimbing. Many happy returns Andy.

We operate five mountain huts, open to members of other clubs.

We maintain a national database of climbs which are incorporated into our guidebooks.

We welcome input from you, especially information about climbs and other routes. If you have feedback about any of our guidebooks please go to Contacts. You may also email us directly.
