Biographical / Historical
The Mountain Rescue Committee of Scotland was formed in 1964 and is the representative and liaison body for Scottish Mountain search and
rescue activities. Whilst the primary role of the affiliated volunteer rescue organisations is search and rescue in mountainous terrain, their role extends to providing help to any person/s in need of assistance in all forms of inhospitable terrain or circumstances or civil emergency, either as an independent unit, or in conjunction with the other emergency services.
John Hinde represented the Mountain Rescue Committee of Scotland in supplying the rescue statistics to the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) for publication in its annual journal. He carried out this statistical work between 1981-2001, as evidenced in the club’s journals covering these years. He was a member of both organisations, having joined the SMC in 1963.
