Description
The Cairngorm Club was formed in 1887 and is one of Scotland's best known hillwalking clubs. Its members have from time to time included a number of climbers of repute, but most are simply hillwalkers with interests ranging from cross-country walks, through more strenuous hillwalking (and unashamed Munro-bagging), to serious rock and ice-climbing.
Muir Cottage
The Club hut, known as Muir of Inverey, is situated on the north side of the Linn of Dee road, some 8 kilometres west of Braemar, about 200 metres beyond the Inverey Youth Hostel and shortly before the road comes to the river (OS grid reference 076896). It is available for use by Club members and guests accompanying them and also by members of other recognised climbing clubs, with whom it is much in demand for weekends throughout the year.
Projects
The Club has been responsible over the years for a number of projects. It erected the indicators on Lochnagar (in 1924) and Ben Macdhui (in 1925) and the bridges over the Druie on the Lairig Ghru track (NH 927078) (in 1912) and over the Luibeg (NO 013942) (in 1948). Club members have also been associated with the construction of footbridges elsewhere in the Cairngorms. The Committee keeps the condition of these indicators and bridges under regular review and members observing any recent damage or deterioration should report it to the Committee.
