THE body which represents climbers, mountaineers, hill walkers and snowsports tourers in Scotland is to have a new hand at the helm from Monday.
Mountaineering Scotland has appointed Stuart Younie as chief executive, replacing David Gibson, who is retiring after more than a decade at the head of the organisation.
Stuart comes to Mountaineering Scotland from Live Active Leisure in Perth, where he was business development and programming manager. He brings a wide range of senior management experience, including strategic planning, business development and operational delivery.
