“When you go to the mountains, you see them and you admire them. In a sense, they give you a challenge, and you try to express that challenge by climbing them.” – Edmund Hillary
The mountains in Scotland that have a height of 3,000 feet (914.4m) or more are referred to as Munros.
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 list has grown and shrunk over the years – in 1984 it was 277, in 1997 it grew to 284 and in September 2009 it returned to 283 after Sgurr nan Ceannaichean was re-measured and found to miss the magic height by 1 metre. The most recent revision of the list found Beinn a’Chlaidheimh in Fisherfield to be under the 3,000ft height, therefore bringing the current total to 282 Munros.
In addition to Munros, there are also Munro Tops and Murdos. Munro Tops are summits that are over 3,000ft, but considered to be a subsidary top of a nearby Munro. There are currently 227 Munro Tops. Murdos 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.
