The Mountaineering Council of Scotland, the MCofS, represents mountaineers, climbing and hill walking enthusiasts in Scotland.
As well as representing our membership, which comprises 130 mountaineering, climbing or walking clubs, and individual members, we also aim to represent the interests of the estimated 400,000 people who head for Scotland’s mountains every month.
We 'work for Scotland's mountains and mountaineers' by providing a range of services, advice and information, including: representing rights to responsible access; activities relating to mountain safety; working with other mountaineering organisations, stakeholders, partners in the Scottish Environment LINK group; providing insurance and our quarterly colour magazine 'The Scottish Mountaineer', plus a number of other membership benefits including a wide range of discounts.
We hope that the information on our site helps you to enjoy Scotland’s mountains. Please use the contact form for feedback on our site. If you are not already a member why not join us as an individual member or join your local club?
