Hillwalking Courses
Scotland has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Dundee is fortunate to have the Sidlaw hills, the nearby Grampian mountains and Glen Isla, Clover, Doll and Esk. Why not set out and enjoy all the benefits of our hillwalking and navigation courses. Ancrum Outdoor Centre cater for the absolute beginner up to the very experienced who can gain coaching towards achieving National Govern Body awards in hillwalking. Anyone wishing to book a private party for this activity would require a minimum of 5 people.
Our highly skilled instructors will tailor design routes or expeditions to meet your needs. All equipment can be provided.
Winter Mountaineering
The course aims to give you the skills to move safely and with confidence on snow covered mountains. Topics such as; use of ice axe and crampons, steep kicking, self arrest, avalanche awareness and winter navigation will leave you watching the weather for next chance to get out.

Expeditions
Over the last few years we have run successful trips to Knoydart, Ben Alder and Skye.

If you have a group of 4 or more people we can run these expeditions on request.
