Glasgow JMCS

Mountaineering and Climbing Club

Welcome to Glasgow JMCS

We are a Glasgow-based Mountaineering Club with members throughout Scotland and further afield. Our members take part in a variety of mountain related activities – primarily mountaineering, climbing, hillwalking, skiing and mountain biking.

Glasgow JMCS is the Glasgow section of the Junior Mountaineering Club of Scotland. Junior by name, not by nature – we have members of all ages! We are proud to have a growing and diverse membership. New members are welcome to join the fun.

The Junior Mountaineering Club of Scotland celebrates its centenary in 2025. The Club will be marking this milestone with various events including a ‘Whole Club’ dinner with all the Sections, a gathering at the Narnain Boulder (the birthplace of the Club) on the anniversary of the first meet and the publication of a book celebrating 100 years of the JMCS with climbing and mountaineering stories, new and old.

Our wonderful club hut is situated at the head of Loch Scavaig on the Island of Skye, by Loch Coruisk and at the foot of the Cuillins! Remote and only accessible by boat or a 10Km walk, Coruisk Memorial Hut is self contained and sleeps 9.

Club History

We are proud of our club heritage. Glasgow JMCS is the Glasgow section of the Junior Mountaineering Club of Scotland which was formed in 1925. We are looking forward to celebrating our centenary with a series of events in 2025, including a entertainment packed dinner bringing together all five sections of the club and the launch of a centenary anthology which will cover 100 years of JMCS mountaineering.
