Club Affiliations and Benefits

Paisley Hillwalking Club is affiliated to the following organisations:

Mountaineering Scotland is the recognised representative organisation for hill walkers, climbers, mountaineers and ski-tourers in Scotland. It provides each of our members with third party insurance cover on all club activities, and a magazine, The Scottish Mountaineer, (2 printed and 2 digital editions per year).

Our affiliation gives us access to huts owned by Mountaineering Scotland and by other affiliated clubs, reduced fees for professionally run courses (eg at the Glenmore Lodge Scottish National Outdoor Training Centre), access to certain areas (Glen Strathfarrar in winter) not otherwise available, and input to the Scottish Executive on sport and access matters through the advisory role of Mountaineering Scotland.

Our other affiliations are to:

the Scottish Rights of Way and Access Society which is dedicated to defending, preserving, signposting, recording, and improving public access to the Scottish countryside;

the Mountain Bothies Association, which maintains simple open bothies in remote locations, and 

the John Muir Trust which is the UK’s leading wild land conservation charity. 

These organisations provide us with interesting and valuable information which is available to members through the Secretary.
