In February 2024, Iain travelled to Perthshire in Scotland to ski on Ben Lawers, the same location where his mother learned to ski in the 1950s.

His article on the trip has now been published by The Telegraph (if it’s behind a paywall, try opening it in a different browser).

Iain explores the history of skiing on Ben Lawers, which predates any Scottish ‘ski resort’, while hiking and ski touring to find the snow.

Iain was guided by Blair Aitken from British Backcountry.
