We’re pleased to make available a recently published book in which the Rucksack Club played a major part in the early days of the subject – Mountain Rescue in Scotland – by Bob Sharp.
This is an updated and expanded edition of Bob’s earlier history of mountain rescue in Scotland.
It now includes a section on the development of mountain rescue (across the UK) from the 1930s to the 1980s; a period when several Rucksack Club members including iconic figures such as Wilson Hey and Eustace Thomas played an instrumental part. Bob has also included an historical account of all (bar one) the Scottish teams and Associations from the year they were founded up to the present day.
The book is now part of the Rucksack Club Archives, click HERE to read it.
A printed copy is available at £15 +pp, please use the Contact Us button under the About option on the top level menu of the website and we’ll put you in touch with Bob.
