Full Munros List

Introduction

Munros are the most famous mountain list in Scotland and one of the most popular peak bagging challenges in the United Kingdom.

A Munro is defined as a mountain in Scotland that rises above 3,000 feet (914 metres). The list was first compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891 and has inspired generations of hill walkers to explore Scotland’s mountains.

Today there are 282 Munros, spread across the Scottish Highlands and islands. Climbers who complete the full list are known as Munroists.

The challenge takes walkers through some of the most spectacular landscapes in Britain, from the rugged peaks of Torridon and the Cairngorm plateau to the dramatic ridges of Glencoe and the Cuillin mountains of Skye.
