Welcome to Mountains of Scotland.

This website is primarily an account of walks, scrambles and climbs I have undertaken in recent years. While the Mountains of Scotland are the main focus of the site, the site also contains a number of Trip Reports from hills located elsewhere in the UK, the Alps and a number of coastal walks. There are currently >400 Trip Reports detailed on the site.

The site also contains Ordnance Survey maps of the main UK hill lists, based on the comprehensive Database of British Hills.

Most of the wildlife photos, I have taken in recent years, can not only be found in Trip Reports but also in the Wildlife section of the site.

Mountains of Scotland can also now be found on

What's new: Noss Head, Saxa Vord and Hill of Arisdale, Vord Hill and Valla Field,
