INDEX TO THE SCOTTISH MOUNTAINEERING CLUB JOURNAL Vols. 1–10 (1890 –1909) COMPILED BY William Garden & James a. Parker THE SCOTTISH MOUNTAINEERING CLUB PREFACE. N submitting this Index to our brother members, we have little to state by I way of Preface. We commenced the work in March 1909, hoping to have it finished shortly after the completion of the tenth volume, but the work proved to be so intricate and laborious that this was found to be impossible. The Index will, we think, be readily understood, but the following notes may be useful. The Index is divided into five sections, as follows:― I. Authors :―This section includes Authors of signed or initialed Articles and Notes, Writers of Reviews, and Authors of Books reviewed.1 A complete list of the latter is, however, given under Reviews in the General Subject Index. II. MAps And IllustrAtIons :―This section is much fuller than a mere index to the titles of the illustrations, our aim having been to index everything depicted on them. Illustrations, which are not photographs, are marked Sketch. III. s.M.C. AbroAd :―For facility of reference, the yearly notes on this subject have been indexed here separately from the Subject Index. IV. Club proCeedIngs :―This section contains all references in the Journal to Club matters, with the exception of Club Meets, of which only a chronological list is given. The Meets are fully indexed in the Subject Index. V. subjeCt Index :―Part I., Skye. Part II., General. The sub-division was adopted on account of the importance of the climbing in Skye. Throughout both sub-divisions, heavy type has been used for page references to Mr. Munro’s Tables and to the Guide Book Articles, and also for the titles of Articles and Books. The standard arrangement followed in the indexing of individual mountains is as follows :― (a) Name of the mountain, followed on the same line by the page references to Mr. Munro’s Tables,2 and to the Guide Book Article. No confusion can arise between the two sets of figures, as the former are confined to Volume I., and the latter to Volumes V. to X.3 Mountains under 3,000 feet in height have of course, only the Guide Book Article reference. 1 Where the name of the author is not known, that of the publisher is given. 2 Unfortunately, the pages in Volume I., containing Table I. of Mr. Munro’s Tables (i.e., pp. 282 to 305), were not numbered. We recommend those who have copies of that Volume to number the pages, as this will enable them readily to find the Index references. 3 Mr. Bell’s Article on “The Buchailles of Etive”, Vol. V., p. 231, is treated as a Guide Book Article, see Vol. VII., p. 101. i (b) A list of the principal Articles in the Journal and of Books reviewed dealing with the mountain ; and, (c) General details, including those of important Guide Book Articles. A similar arrangement has been adopted for general subject but occasionally the main heading is simply a key-word to the title of an Article or Book. As a rule, all dependencies of principal mountains have been indexed under the latter, and cross-referenced thereto, our object being that all items dealing with any particular massif should be brought together conveniently for reference. Our thanks are due to Mrs. Garden, who entered very enthusiastically into the work, and gave valuable assistance with the preparation of a portion of it. WILLIAM GARDEN. JAMES A. PARKER.

In Norway I would like to thank Dr P S Anderson who acted as my supervisor. Thanks are likewise due to Dr H Kongsrud of the Norwegian State Archives and to Dr T Scmidt of the Place Name Institute, both of whom were generous with their time.

    Charlie Ramsay and Me: a Tale of Obsession

    SheepSheet Autumn 2015 Johnnie Watson, the Laughing Cavalier – 12th in the 2015 Montane Spine Race Notes from the Editor: It’s been a while and my apologies for the lengthy hiatus between issues but welcome all to the latest edition of the Sheepsheet, Calder Valley Fell Runner’s periodic glimpse into the weird and wonderful world of fell running, adventure racing, and outdoor self-flagellation in general. All of us enjoy some of those, but one man has demonstrated remarkable fortitude in all three at once. It’s been a while since he did it, and my apologies to Johnnie in particular for the lateness of this edition hitting the shelves. His monumental achievement should have been heralded much sooner, but a fanfare is a fanfare, and let’s all blow our bugle to our very own Johnnie Watson for his magnificent 12th place in Montane’ Spine Race. The race is labelled as Britain’s Most Brutal Race, so by my reckoning that makes Johnny the 12th most brutal man in Britain – GRRRRRRR!!!! Not bad for a nurse from Pye Nest! Well done Johnny, and not all of it in borrowed kit either! Johnnie tells us more of his odyssey up central England later. Recent months, as always, have seen superb performances and achievements from numerous club members, some of which are featured here for your enjoyment. We have seen the stellar progression of Ben Mounsey into an international-class runner, which in turn has guaranteed him residency on the back pages of the local sporting press. Again, well done Ben, it’s been a pleasure to report on your heroics and nobody deserves it more due to your graft, skill and determination.

  • Grey Corries, Golden Days by MIKE KENT

    Grey Corries, Golden Days by MIKE KENT

    34 GREY CORRIES, GOLDEN DAYS MIKE KENT My days in the Grey Corries began one Aberdeen Spring Holiday, late on a Friday afternoon. Friends were motoring down to stay in Lochaber for the long weekend and I took the opportunity of a lift, arranging to come back with them on the Monday night. Leaving Aberdeen early in the afternoon, I was very soon standing alone just off the A82 outside Spean Bridge. View of Grey Corries Massif from near Spean Bridge. (Drawing by Mike Kent) The weekend weather promised to be settled, with high pressure squatting over the country like a great warm hen, protecting all us wee birds from the vagaries of the normal climate. It was 4.30 p.m. and I set off briskly wanting to camp high on that first night. The road climbed steadily across open grassland then plunged through vernal green mature larches into the depths of the Leanachan Forest. After Theanother 2 km Cairngormthe farm of Leanachan appeared, alon e Clubin its clearing in the forest. There, concentrating on avoiding unplumbed depths of mud, I lost the path that I wanted so I struck straight up the hill through the trees heading for the disused tramway that ran from Loch Treig to Fort William during construction of the aqueduct to the smelter. Now it lies abandoned along the contour of the hill just fifty metres below the 'parallel road' at 260 m. Those shore line signatures of a long gone ice-dammed lake are well enough known in Glen Roy but also can be found on the hills around Glen Spean.

    37 Foinaven - Ben Hee Wild Land Area

    Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 37 Foinaven - Ben Hee Wild Land Area 1 Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 Context This large Wild Land Area (WLA) extends 569 km2 across north west Sutherland, extending from the peatlands of Crask in the south east to the mountain of Foinaven in the north west. The northern half of the WLA mainly comprises a complex range of high mountains in addition to a peninsula of lower hills extending towards Durness. In contrast, the southern half of the WLA includes extensive peatlands and the isolated mountain of Ben Hee. One of a cluster of seven WLAs in the north west of Scotland, flanked by main (predominantly single track) roads to the north, west and south, it is relatively distant from large population centres. The geology of the area has a strong influence on its character. Along the Moine Thrust Belt that passes through the north west, rocky mountains such as Foinaven and Arkle are highly distinctive with their bright white Cambrian quartzite and scree, with little vegetation. The geological importance of this area is recognised by its inclusion within the North West Highlands Geoparki. Land within the WLA is used mainly for deer stalking and fishing and, except for a few isolated estate lodges and farms, is uninhabited. Many people view the area from outside its edge as a visual backdrop, particularly when travelling along the A838 between Lairg and Laxford Bridge and Durness, and along the A836 between Lairg and Altnaharra, through Strath More, and around Loch Eriboll. The mountains within this WLA typically draw fewer hillwalkers than some other areas, partly due to the lack of Munros.
