Six historic volumes brimming with the character of this great club.

The Cairngorm Club is a mountaineering club, based in Aberdeen, Scotland formed in June 1887. The Cairngorm Club was founded by Alexander Copland, Rev. Robert Lippe, Alexander Inkson M’Connochie, Rev. C. C. Macdonald, W. A. Hawes, and W. Anderson at Clach Dhion – the Shelter Stone, above Loch A’an in the Cairngorms on 24 June 1887.The date of formation is given as 1889 in the SMC District Guide, and corrected in a later edition. The founders had climbed Ben Macdui and let off fireworks to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. The first formal meeting was held in Aberdeen on 9 January 1889, re-appointing the office-bearers and forming a committee. The first meet was held on 9 July 1889, staying at Nethy Bridge Hotel and ascending Cairn Gorm and Ben Macdui from Glenmore Lodge. Reverend Lippe served as the first Vice President. The club was registered as a charity on 11 July 2017. The current President (2022) is Garry Wardrope, aged 60.
