THE PUBLIC is being given rare access to the only mountaineering museum exhibition in the UK, right in the heart of Lochaber.
The Scottish Mountain Heritage Collection - a charitable trust dedicated to the collection of mountaineering and miscellaneous outdoor gear - has agreed to open its collection to the public as part of the Highland Archaeological Festival 2017.
The exhibition is housed principally in the barn and other outbuildings at Bohuntin, Glen Roy, just north of Fort William and contains more than 2,000 items of mountaineering memorabilia from Scotland and around the world.
