About the EMC

The Edinburgh Mountaineering Club (EMC) welcomes experienced hillwalkers and climbers who enjoy being out in the hills. We have regular weekend meets, mainly in the Scottish Highlands. During the winter months these are based in huts; during the summer, they are a mixture of hut and camping meets. To find out more about what happens on a meet see our page for new members or our meet reports.

There's a regular pub night on the first Thursday of the month, at the Oxford Bar, Young Street, Edinburgh from 9pm onwards. Click here for a map.

If you can't make it down to the pub, you can always phone our membership secretary or email
