We are the representative and liaison organisation for mountain rescue services in Scotland for the 26 voluntary teams, Police Scotland teams and 1 RAF team it represents. We liaise with all departments, authorities and providers of search and rescue services. We administer and organise national training courses and a training conference that all team members of member teams can attend. We facilitate the provision of a civilian mountain rescue service in Scotland and liaise closely with the Scottish Government, Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Royal Air Force, Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Scottish Ambulance Service, and other partner agencies involved in land based search and rescue. We collate and publish the operational mountain rescue statistics for our member teams on an annual basis and publish an annual report outlining our activities.
