Product Information

The mountains in Scotland over 3,000 feet (914.4 metres) in height are called the Munros. Named after Hugh Munro, the first person to compile a list of them in 1891, there were were originally 283 Munros. The first "completionist" was to be the Reverend A. E. Robertson, in 1901, later minister at Braes of Rannoch from 1907. [61] However, research has cast doubt on this claim, and it is not certain that he reached the summit of Ben Wyvis. [64] Also it is known that Robertson did not climb the Inaccessible Peak of Sgùrr Dearg. [65] If Robertson is discounted, the first Munroist is Ronald Burn, who completed in 1923. Burn is also (indisputably) the first person to climb all the Munro Tops. [61] Munro bagging is basically where an individual climbs each one of Scotland’s 282 Munros to their summit, with each completion called a ’round’ and the individual that made the achievement called a ‘compleationist’. Glencoe is another tourist hotspot in the Highlands and it’s (at least in my opinion) much prettier than the scenery surrounding Ben Nevis. Of course, you don’t have to climb every single Munro and if you’re anything like me you’ll have an amazing time just reaching the summit when and wherever you can. You’ll get to see places of extraordinary beauty that you would never otherwise see, you’ll have unforgettable encounters with wildlife, and you’ll get immense personal satisfaction from pushing yourself harder than you ever thought you were capable of.

Some authors have attempted to redefine Munros based on objective metric criteria. As of 6September2012 [update], 202 of the 282 Munros had a prominence above 150 metres (492ft). Such hills have been called Real Munros or Marilyn Munros. No Munro Top had a prominence above 150 metres (492ft) (i.e. no Munro Top was a Marilyn). 130 Munros had a height above 1,000 metres (3,281ft) and a prominence above 100 metres (328ft), while 88 had a prominence above 200 metres (656ft).

Scottish Mountaineering Club – The SMC maintain the lists of Munros, Munro Tops, Furths, Corbetts and Donalds. They also keep a record of Completionists. There are also gradings for mountains under 3,000 feet, all of which were surveyed and published through the Scottish Mountaineering Club. These are: The mapping of Scotland’s mountains has been closely intertwined with the 40-year life of HARVEY Maps, so we have included a little about the history, the people and the philosophy of the Company. This is one of the highest peaks in Scotland at over 4,000 feet and is, in fact, the seventh-highest mountain in Britain, so anyone thinking of climbing up it will require a degree of fitness and stamina as well as experience in scaling Scotland’s tougher peaks. The Munros have been drawn in such a way that the size of each triangle gives an approximate representation of the height of the actual Munro. Each Munro is Named and NumberedFrom Loch Earn, follow the A85 to the village of Comrie and take the minor Monument Road for 5 miles till you get to the Ben Chonzie car park. There’s only space for perhaps 5 vehicles so I suggest getting there early as parking on the narrow verge is difficult.

Adventure

On the other hand, some of the more difficult Munros are extremely challenging and shouldn’t be attempted by anyone inexperienced in hill walking or climbing. A prime example of this is the ‘Inaccessible Pinnacle’ – otherwise known as the ‘In Pinn’ – on the Isle of Skye. Munro bagging" is the activity of climbing all the listed Munros. As of 31 December 2022, 7,390 people had reported completing a round. [2] The first continuous round was completed by Hamish Brown in 1974, whilst the record for the fastest continuous round is currently held by Jamie Aarons, who completed a round in 31 days 10 hours 27 mins in June 2023.

Scottish Mountaineering Club. 2018. The list of distinct Scottish peaks of 3,000ft (910m) and over, of "sufficient separation" from their neighbouring peaks. The list that was originally drawn up by Sir H.T. Munro in the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal in 1891 was unfinished at the time of his death. Munro did not write down a precise definition of what he meant by "sufficient separation", though the character of a mountain did enter into it. Through regular use these hills have become known as the Munros. The first is the fact the superb ‘Hollow Mountain’ attraction is located nearby where visitors can take a journey deep inside the mountain to view an enormous underground hydroelectric power station. The station is powered by water stored in the dam and visitors are encouraged to walk up to it for a look, after which they can continue to the Ben Cruachan summit or return to the visitor centre.Slioch (Sleaghach)".
