How many Munros are in Scotland? - What to know about nation's tallest mountains
23.10.2022 - 14:53 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Scotland is known for many things, but one that is particularly notable is its rather hilly landscape.
The nation and two of its isles are home to the Munros - mountains across the country which seasoned hill walkers attempt to conquer. Now, ten year-old Quinn Young has joined these ranks as the youngest girl ever to climb all 282 peaks.
But Munros are not your typical mountains. Classified as a group of particularly high peaks, many walkers choose to take up the challenge of what is called "Munro bagging". However, this are not for the inexperienced, as many walkers have lost their lives in trying to complete the task.
If Quinn's achievement has inspired you to take on the task of climbing nearly 300 Scottish mountains, here are some things you should know, including some recommendations for beginner and advanced walkers.
All hillwalkers planning to take on any mountain should plan accordingly and seek safety advice from Scottish Mountain Rescue before setting off.
Munros are mountains found across Scotland, which are classified as being over 3,000 feet, or 914 metres in height. According to Visit Scotland, they are named after British Mountaineer Sir Hugh T Munro, who surveyed and catalogued them in 1891.
There are a total of 282 Munros in Scotland, says Visit Scotland. The highest peak of the group is Ben Nevis, which is also the highest mountain in the country.
Located in the highlands near Fort William Ben Nevis stands at 4,411 ft, or 1,345 m. While this may seem like the most difficult Munro, there are a number of lower but more challenging peaks to climb.
Among them include the 12 airy peaks of the Black Cuillin on Skye and the UK mainland's narrowest ridge walk - the Aonach Eagach - in Glen Coe.
