Scotland has some of the best rock climbing in the UK. It has the biggest cliffs, in the most impressive scenery; some in the most remote areas in these small islands of ours.
To give you a flavour, here are a few extracts taken from a MCofS Information Sheet entitled "Rock Climbing In Scotland". Artist John Griffiths also gives his own personal, tongue-in-cheek, view of Scottish climbing.

The Information Sheet is available through the MCofS Information Service - order it here.
