The last club meet of 2023 saw us visit, what was for us, a new hut.  More of a large holiday-home than a club hut (I actually drove past it thinking, “that can’t be it”!). Overlooking Loch Linnhe, Craigallan is situated about 2 miles from Ballachulish on the A828 to Oban, below the Western flanks…

This month’s meet saw a long-awaited return to the SMC’s Raeburn Hut at Laggan, the one and only previous meet there being back in March 2016, when the relatively recently-formed club enjoyed a great weekend of weather and wintry conditions. The weather was set fair once again, coinciding with the beginning of a cold snap…

The weekend of 13th/14th October saw the Club return to the ever-popular Glen Brittle Memorial Hut in Skye. Not only is it comfortable and spacious but with the Cuillin ridge rising right from its door it is superbly located as well. The weather forecast appropriately enough was Minginish – but in fact it turned out…

Thanks again are due to the Carn Dearg Club for the use of their splendid Hut. It wasn’t quite as memorable as our last visit following storms Arwen and Corrie which saw devastation in the Glen and ingenuity in the Hut! The Burns Supper was perfectly cooked on the woodburning stove due to a power…

Intro Another month, another classic hut!  The Smiddy, a JMCS hut, is a gem of a place down near the mouth of Little Loch Broom, just as you enter Dundonnell from the East.  A few members had stayed here previously with Fraz’s 2003 entry in the book possibly the earliest of those. The hut is…

Inver Croft Cottage in Upper Glen Carron (near Achnasheen) is a perennial Club favourite location with numerous visits over the years. Owned by the Jacobites Mountaineering club, it is a former shepherd’s house. The last family moved out in 1946 and it eventually opened as a Club Hut in 1990. It sits several hundred yards…
