JACOBITES MOUNTAINEERING CLUB

The club was founded in 1974 and was the first club in Edinburgh to allow women to join. We have tried to keep that open and welcoming philosophy ever since. Legends abound about the origins of the club name. The simplest explanation given by founder members is that it simply had a suitably Scottish feel; that and by the time it had been suggested the meeting was more interested in adjourning to the bar!
