We are thrilled to announce our major exhibition Petticoats and Pinnacles, which will run from Saturday 10 July until 28 May 2022 - find out more and book your visit at www.nls.uk/exhibitions
Petticoats and Pinnacles opens alongside The Eye of a Stranger, which explores the life and letters of diplomat’s wife Henrietta Liston. and runs until 6 November
Petticoats and Pinnacles explores the relationship between women and mountains, focusing on individual Scots who travelled, climbed and responded creatively to mountain environments, both in Scotland and across the globe. Along the way they overcome traditional ideals of femininity, masculinity and convention.
Exhibitor Paula Williams has said that the exhibition is a result of considerable research and work, and that the women highlighted overcame many obstacles to live their lives of adventure.
Alongside being celebrated in their field of work (as poets, diarists and artists) the women featured also scaled the world’s mountains.
Petticoats and Pinnacles curator, Paula Williams, said:
“The Library has many wonderful books about the Scottish mountains and mountaineers. But something had always seemed to be missing - where are the women? When I became curator of the Library’s Mountaineering & Polar Collections in 2011, I was determined to find them – and out of this initial research grew our exhibition Petticoats & Pinnacles: Scotland’s pioneering mountain women.”
It was not only social stigma, but also the availability of equipment that caused barriers for women climbers, many of whom had to make to with inadequate gear.
However, the pioneering women quickly found ways of getting around the constraints of long skirts and petticoats by rigging them up to be shorter, or more usually by resorting to breeches when out of view.
One of the featured climbers, Jane Inglis Clark, said in 1938: “When I appeared in my boys’ suit ... and wearing my big hobnailers, my own mother could not endure the spectacle and cried, “Oh what a fright you look!”
The exhibition title, Petticoats and Pinnacles, reflects the robust make-do attitude of these Scottish pioneering mountain women.
Petticoats and Pinnacles will open to the public on 10 July and runs until 28 May 2022. This display is free, and booking is essential via www.nls.uk/exhibitions

Happy Birthday Anne Lister - 230 today!
As a very special present to mark Anne’s birthday and to commemorate the time she spent in Scotland, it gives us great pleasure to announce the creation of the ANNE LISTER GROVE in the Trees For Life Dundreggan Estate in the Scottish Highlands. This has been made possible through our partnership with Somewhere: For Us and is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland
Anne was a keen horticulturist and had an affinity with the Scottish Highlands so we think she would have approved!
To make a donation and plant a tree in her memory visit our Trees for Life page: https://treesforlife.org.uk/groves/310214/
More about Trees for Life:
The Caledonian Forest once covered a large area of the Highlands of Scotland as extensive stands of majestic Scots pine, interspersed with birch, rowan, juniper and aspen trees, but is now reduced to about 2% of its former extent. Through planting native species of trees, removing non-native species and fencing seedlings to protect them from overgrazing by deer and sheep, Trees for Life aims to help the natural regeneration of the forest. Its long-term goal is to create a fully restored, healthy ecosystem, with the reintroduction of missing species of wildlife, such as the beaver, wild boar, lynx and wolf.
The vast majority of its work is carried out by volunteers. By engaging people from diverse backgrounds, it aims to achieve a powerful and educational experience that will promote the work of restoration to wider audiences and lead to increased support for the return of the forest and its species.
Trees for Life is a registered charity working to rewild the Scottish Highlands. We are proud to be supporting such an important cause.
