For those that love the mountains of Scotland you can scratch off the Munros and Munro areas as you bag them. Keep your running total too. Happy Bagging! A total of 197 Munros have a topographic prominence of over 150m (492ft) and are regarded by peakbaggers as Real Munros. [7] 130 Scottish mountains over 1000m, with a topographic prominence of over 100m (328ft) have been termed Metric Munros. [8] The list of all distinct peaks in Scotland which are 600m or more and less than 2500ft (762m) with a drop of at least 150m between each peak and any higher land. Like the Corbetts, this list is well defined and requires only the aforementioned rules and sufficiently detailed topographic data to reproduce the list of hills in the set. Between April 2007 and July 2015 the Munro Society re-surveyed twenty mountains and tops that were known to be close to the 3,000ft figure to determine their height more accurately. [9] On 10 September 2009 the society announced that the mountain Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean, south of Glen Carron, had a height of 2,996feet 10inches (913.43m). [10] Therefore, the Scottish Mountaineering Club removed the Munro status of Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean and this mountain is now a Corbett. [11] In a Summer 2011 height survey by The Munro Society, Beinn a' Chlaidheimh was found to be 2,998feet 8inches (914m) and thus short of the Munro mark. On 6 September 2012, the Scottish Mountaineering Club demoted it from Munro to Corbett status. [12] [13] On 26 August 2020, the SMC confirmed that Beinn a' Chroin West Top at 938m was deleted as a Munro Top and Beinn a' Chroin East Top became the new Munro Top at 940.1m. The summit height of Beinn a' Chroin was also changed to 941.4m. [14] As of 10 December 2020, there were 226 Scottish Munro Tops after Stob Coire na Cloiche, a Munro Top to Parent Peak Sgùrr nan Ceathramhnan, was surveyed at 912.5m and was deleted as a Munro Top and downgraded to a Corbett Top. [15]It takes around 4 hours to complete both routes but whichever you take you can be assured of amazing views along the way. One tip I have is to take binoculars with you as there’s every chance you’ll get to see Britain’s biggest bird, the white-tailed sea eagle, soaring overhead. Ben Nevis Beinn Teallach".

The mountain is maintained by the John Muir Trust and just like at Schiehallion they’ve done a superb job of creating an accessible path which zigzags its way to the summit, though it gets rougher and scree-covered towards the top. Once there you’ll be presented with superb views in all directions, but take care as there are steep drops, especially on the north face. Bidean Nam Bian I’ve tried other brands but in my opinion, Berghaus boots offer the best combination of comfort and durability for the money, plus they’re generous with the ankle support and the soles are extra grippy.

of the 282 Scottish Munros have an official OSI prominence above 30 m, except Maoile Lunndaidh, who was found in a 2014 survey to be lower than nearby Creag Toll a' Choin. [6] Thus, Maoile Lunndaidh had its prominence reduced from 400 m to just under 11 m, and the 400 m of prominence given to Creag Toll a' Choin. Note that Creag Toll a' Choin had previously been a Munro until later mapping favoured Maoile Lunndaidh. Munro Tops are summits that are over 3,000ft, but considered to be a subsidiary top of a nearby Munro. There are currently 227 Munro Tops. The Murdos, a list created by Alan Dawson to bring objectivity to the classification of subsidiary summits of Munros, are Scottish hills over 3,000ft with a minimum drop of 30 metres on all sides. All Munros are Murdos, but not all Munro Tops are Murdos. There are 442 Murdos. It’s impossible not to have heard of Ben Nevis. As children we’re taught it’s the highest mountain in Britain and as adults who love the great outdoors we aspire to climb it one day.

Well, to date there are more than 6,700 compleationists and each year another 200+ add their names to the official register. A Munro is defined as a mountain in Scotland that is over 3,000 feet (914.4 metres) in height. There are several categories used to describe Scottish mountains, but it’s the tallest of them that have spawned an entire pastime in Scotland. Viewed side-on, the pinnacle takes the shape of a shark fin with sheer sides that offer little in the way of access. If getting up there looks difficult, getting down is even worse as you’ll have to abseil – which is why securing the help of a professional guide is pretty much a necessity.
