Episode 5 - Mick Tighe - Scottish Mountain Heritage Collection.
In this fifth episode I managed to get a chat with local climbing legend Mick Tighe at his home in Glen Roy. In a barn at the back of his house Mick has created The Scottish Mountain Heritage Collection, which contains items related to climbing and the outdoors that he's gathered or had donated to him from around the world.
Amongst other things Mick introduces me to several amazing artefacts from the collection which leads to a very special moment for me as I come as close as it's possible to get to one of my outdoor heroes.
It's Mick's dream to have the items on display to the public in a museum. From spending time at his surrounded by the collection I hope this is something that he is able to achieve. To find out more or to make a donation visit smhc.co.uk
Present throughout the interview is Mick's wife Cath. I really appreciated them taking the time to chat to me and for their generosity in showing me the special collection.
Enjoy!
The Forest Janny
Hello. I’m Steev Livingstone and I am the Forest Janny. In this podcast I speak to people who live and work in the Scottish Highlands and who have a connection to its wild places. At the beginning of 2025 I moved up to the Highlands and as an outsider myself, I’m especially keen to hear the stories of others who have been drawn to the area.
