Publication dates, copy deadlines and details of preferred formats (text and photos)

Features

Whilst many of the articles are sourced from MCofS members, the Editor is always looking for feature articles associated with Scotland or the exploits of Scottish based walkers and climbers from any source. We prefer articles which take a ‘different’ look at our activities rather than the pedestrian (!) description of particular hill walks or climbs.

Commissions will be considered, as will submitted articles featuring advertorial information.

Talking Point
If you have a burning issue concerning the Scottish scene and would like to open discussion and gain MCofS members views, contact the Editor. Previous Talking Points have included memorials on the hills, climbing ethics, the re-wilding of Scotland, taking the use of Gaelic in mountaineering forward and the desecration of Scotland Iconic mountain images.

Guest Articles
This is a regular feature slot made available to kindred organisations, usually charities (those involved in mountain safety, access, conservation, outdoor youth work etc) to showcase their work.

MCofS News Articles
MCofS news in all our areas of work is covered in dedicated sections of up to 20 pages (mountain safety, access, conservation, mountaineering development and member services). These are supplied by our staff and volunteers, however, we will also consider up to date news and events in these fields from other associated organisations.

Photos
We are always on the look out for quality photos of anything to do with mountaineering, climbing and hill walking, especially for the cover.
