The Scottish Munro's

welcome to
the Munro's

a Munro
is a Scottish mountain
of 3000 feet or more

there are 284 Munro's
in Scotland

named after
Sir Hugh T. Munro of Lindertis,

Sir Hugh published his original list of 3000 foot mountains in 1891

when Sir Hugh published his original list, it contained 283 Mountains
and other peaks that did not "qualify" as they did not have enough re-assent these were classed as "tops"
(the total number of Munro's and tops was 530 on the original list)

Shortly after this OS revised the maps and the controversy over number of Munro's began. Munro began a revised list but died in 1919 before completion.
Since then the list has been regularly updated as measuring techniques change.

climbing the Munro's

Sir Hugh died before he had finished climbing all the Munro's
(he missed out on two) one having been subsequently demoted

The first person to climb all the Munro's
was Rev. A E Robertson.
