Visitors are enchanted by its charm and allure. HIsT ORY Scotland's history spans millennia, from ancient Celts to the medieval kingdom of Alba. Roman influence in the first century AD left behind Hadrian's Wall as a symbol of their presence. The crowning of Kenneth MacAlpin in the 9th century unified Scotland, shaping a period of stability. Powerful clans like the MacDonalds and Campbells further defined its identity. The Wars of Independence against English rule solidified Scotland's autonomy. ​ The Union of the Crowns in 1603 united Scotland and England under one monarch, leading to political turmoil. The 18th century witnessed Jacobite uprisings and the Battle of Culloden. The Industrial Revolution transformed Scotland's economy, while the 20th century brought social and economic challenges. Today, Scotland stands proud with a rich heritage, balancing its past with modern aspirations. moun tains Scotland's mountains, renowned for their beauty and challenge, are among the country's most iconic landscapes. From the rugged peaks of the Cairngorms to the dramatic ridges of the Cuillin Range on the Isle of Skye, they offer a haven for adventurers seeking both challenge and tranquility. ​ The Scottish Highlands, home to many of the UKs highest peaks, boast ancient trails and remote footpaths winding through heather-clad moors and glacial valleys. While Munros like Ben Nevis draw climbers and hikers from around the world, there are countless lesser-known mountains offering solitude amidst the rugged landscape. Scotland's Right to Roam legislation ensures outdoor enthusiasts have access to vast countryside, allowing them to explore freely. This freedom adds an element of discovery as hikers uncover hidden lochs, ancient ruins, and breathtaking vistas. City mountaineering trips in Scotland provide an immersive outdoor experience, led by expert guides who share their knowledge of the landscape and its rich history. Whether summiting a Munro or traversing a remote ridge, exploring Scotland's mountains offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of this wild landscape. GEOL olgy Scotland's geology presents a captivating narrative of ancient landscapes shaped over millions of years. The country's bedrock, ranging from the Lewisian Gneiss of the northwest Highlands to the Old Red Sandstone of the Midland Valley, reveals a diverse array of geological formations. Two significant tectonic events, the Caledonian and Variscan orogenies, have left their imprint on Scotland's terrain, resulting in the creation of mountain ranges, fault lines, and volcanic activity that continue to shape the landscape today. ​ The Highland Boundary Fault, running across Scotland from Arran to Stonehaven, marks the division between the Highlands and the Lowlands, showcasing the effects of intense geological forces. Volcanic activity, evident in formations like the Isle of Skye's basalt columns and the extinct volcanoes of the Inner Hebrides, adds further complexity to Scotland's geological tapestry. Through the study of Scotland's geology, scientists gain valuable insights into the processes that have sculpted the land over millennia, while enthusiasts marvel at the intricate beauty of its rock formations and landscapes shaped by the forces of nature. enviro nment Scotland's natural environment is a captivating blend of rugged landscapes, sweeping moors, and pristine lochs that inspire visitors. From the windswept coastline of the Outer Hebrides to the mist-shrouded peaks of the Highlands, Scotland's landscapes offer a glimpse into untamed wilderness. The country's flora environment is diverse, with native plants ranging from delicate wildflowers to hardy heather. Purple heather carpets the hillsides in late summer, while gorse adds splashes of gold. In ancient Caledonian forests, moss-covered trees provide habitat for woodland species. Scotland's natural environment supports rich biodiversity, with habitats for various wildlife. Red deer roam moors, while golden eagles soar above. Otters play in lochs, and seals rest on rocky shores. Exploring Scotland, visitors are enchanted by its natural wonders and abundant wildlife.

Meet the Leaders: Edward Meet Other Leaders Name: Edward Pearce-Taylor Mountain Experience: 7yrs Where did you grow up?: Bedfordshire Current Home City: London Favourite Mountain: Buachaille Etive Mòr Favourite food to pack in your rucksack: Chorizo sausage Favourite National Park: The Cairngorms Q. How did you become interested in the outdoors? A. Two things stand out. The first is getting a second-hand book on British birds from a pop-up bookstore on the South Bank when I was eight years old. The sparked my lifelong interest in birds and you can’t be interested in birds without being interested in the outdoors! Second, from a young age I went on an annual holiday with my grandparents to the North Yorkshire Moors (to Goathland, or Aidensfield as its probably better known!). We’d do a little circular walk out of the village and I was always obsessed with getting to the top of things. Q. What is one lesson the mountains have taught you? A. Don’t let discomfort get the better of you. Embrace it and think of the pub at the end of it all. Q. Other than boots, if you had unlimited money to spend on one piece of kit, what would it be? A. Gloves! Without a doubt. Having cold hands can really ruin a day in the hills and, unfortunately, you do tend to get what you pay for when it comes to gloves. Q. What is one thing you pack in your rucksack, whatever the season and whatever the weather? A. I always have an emergency light down-jacket or heavy fleece that gets stashed in a dry-bag at the bottom of my rucksack, whatever the weather and whatever the forecast. I like to know that if something unexpected happens I’ve always a got a warm, dry extra layer to throw on if I need it. Q. What advice would you give to someone going out into the mountains for the first time? A. It’s not a race. Take your time, enjoy it and don’t worry if you’re not moving as fast as you thought you would. You wouldn’t run up the stairs, would you? Q. What is your favourite season to be out in the mountains and why? A. It depends on what I’m doing. If I’m running the trails then a dry summer’s day is hard to beat. However, strapping on a pair of crampons and wielding an ice axe makes anything seem like a true alpine adventure, so a proper Scottish winter is unbeatable. Q. Name three mountains on your bucket list. 1. The Matterhorn 2. Beinn Alligin 3. The Cuillin Ridge (okay, so it’s not strictly a mountain!) Q. What do you do like to do keep fit when you’re not in the mountains? A. Fitness is my passion - or my obsession, depending on who you ask – so I spend a lot of time keeping fit. Lately, road cycling and running are my main focus but I dabble with marathon kayaking and surfski too. I also spend way too much time in the weights gym…not a good habit to get into. Q. If you could go anywhere in the world that you hadn’t been, where would it be? A. Costa Rica. Sadly, the current pandemic forced me to cancel my trip there this month. I’ve never been in a proper rainforest before and I can’t wait to be able to. (If my trip to Costa Rica had gone ahead, my answer to this question would be Antarctica). Q. What is your favourite mountain/expedition/adventure book? (fiction/non-fiction) A. Endurance by Alfred Lansing, about Shackleton’s ill-fated expedition. It’s an old book but the story telling is sublime and the story itself, all based on real events, is just totally unbelievable. Read this and suddenly self-isolating at home with tea and Netflix won’t seem quite so bad… Q. What is your favourite City Mountaineering memory? A. Lots to choose from, of course, but sharing a wee dram with fellow leader, Dave, and the group as we watched the sunset from the north side of Cadair Idris on a wild camping trip is a special one.
