Scottish Mountain Heritage Collection showcases equipment and stories from the golden age of the gentleman climber to the DIY spirit of post-war adventurers. Each item holds a story, reminding us of the ingenuity and passion that fuelled mountaineers through the ages. Scottish Mountain Heritage Collection carefully curates these artefacts representing eras when climbers improvised with military surplus or handmade gear. Each piece tells a tale of adventure, resilience, and innovation.

Objectives: The objects of the Trust are to advance the education of the general public, without distinction of sex, sexuality, political, religious or other opinions, by the provision of a museum of mountain and outdoor activities comprising a collection of past equipment and memorabilia relating to the development of mountaineering, hill walking and other outdoor activities in the Highlands of Scotland and to acquire artefacts for the collection with a commitment to protect the Collection.
