Benjamin "Ben" Hutchison Humble MBE (1903 - 1977) was a Scottish writer and climber who was responsible for the creation of Scottish Mountain Rescue teams as we know them today. He was also a keen photographer and film maker. During the World War II he produced several educational films in order to support the war effort.[1]

Humble was born in Dumbarton in 1903, one of the sons of the manager of Dennystown Forge. Despite his total deafness he became a dentist, later making advances in forensic dentistry.

A biography of his life, The Voice Of The Hills: The Story Of Ben Humble was written by his nephew Roy Humble in 1995.
