Huts

Imagine a place that’s close to the best hills and crags in the area. A place to get clean and warm after a long day outdoors. To cook, sleep, and chat about the events of the day with people who are into the same adventures as you.

As a BMC member you get exclusive access to our three huts: Glen Brittle Memorial Hut on the Isle of Skye, the Don Whillans Memorial Hut at the Roaches and the Alex MacIntyre Memorial Hut in the Scottish Highlands. If you’re a member of a mountaineering club you may also have access to even more huts around the country.
