OVERVIEWThe Mountain peaks in Scotland with a height of and above 3000 ft (914.4m) are also known as Munros. They are named after Sir Hugh Munro,(1856–1919), who produced the first list of such hills, known as Munros Tables, in 1891. A Munro top is a summit over 3000 ft which is not regarded as a separate mountain. As of the 2009 revision of the tables, published by the Scottish Mountaineering Club, there are 283 Munros and 227 further subsidiary tops.
The most well known Munro is Ben Nevis close to Fort William and is the highest mountain in the British Isles, with an altitude of 4409ft (1344m). | Cairngorm Mountains
|
Ben Nevis & The Aonachs
| A popular practice amongst hillwalkers is "Munro Bagging", the aim being to climb all of the listed Munros.
(As of Nov 2011, more than 4,900 have reported completing their round, Shaun Hibbard from the WalkWise team, is one such compleatist. The first continuous round of the Munros was completed by Hamish Brown in 1974, whilst the current holder of the record for the fastest continuous round is Stephen Pyke who completed his 2010 round in just under 40 days. The Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) recognises six peaks in England, fifteen in Wales and thirteen in Ireland that would be Munros or Munro Tops if they were in Scotland, these are referred to as Furth Munros. |
