Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The Carn Dearg Mountaineering Society was founded in 1949 in Forfar, because it was easy for members to cycle or bus to Glen Clova. Carn Dearg translated from Gaelic is 'Red Hills' i.e. the Red Craigs of Glen Clova. The Society originated due to ex-service men and women's ongoing enthusiasm for outdoor life. The Society's base is now in Dundee with members from across Scotland and U.K. Throughout the year the Society runs monthly and weekend trips to Scotland's most spectacular mountain areas. It caters for all forms of mountaineering activity and membership allows users to have access to members-only mountaineering bothies. The club today (2014) has approximately 80 members of all ages and abilities.
