Mountain Guide
We are a small guiding company based in Fort William, Scotland, at the foot of Ben Nevis. We specialize in tailor-made courses and guiding for individuals and small groups across the Scottish Highlands, focusing on quality and a personalised approach rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Founded by Scott Kirkhope—an outdoor professional with 20 years’ experience—we evolved from his earlier venture, Kirkhope Mountaineering (est. 2016). Scott holds the Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor (WMCI) qualification, is a member and Development Officer of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors, and is also a qualified mountain bike leader and coach.
We work with qualified and insured freelance guides, occasionally including trainees (with prior notice), and prioritise customer-focused, high-quality mountain adventures.
We also support the local Lochaber community through environmental and recreational initiatives, having contributed to local climbing, trail, wheeled sports, and conservation projects.

Scott was a fantastic guide. We (myself and my 17 year old son) felt 100% safe at all times. Unfortunately, due to the v high winds, we weren’t able to summit Ben Nevis - however, Scott ensured that we had a great day hiking & climbing around Ben Nevis. We will definitely return to summit Ben Nevis in the Winter - and we’ll definitely go with Scott as our guide.

The guide was Hannah in fact and she was the best, it was a great day and Hannah was brilliant.. I would never have chosen the Pap honestly speaking, however, Hannah did the review also asked a bunch of questions and watched how we did at the beginning so she was confident that it was the right hike for us, and it really was. Please give her a big thanks and to you also for a great experience, the break in the weather really helped as well

Scott was super responsive in all communications. And his colleague, Jordan, was amazing.
