Munros of the Grampian Mountains : Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering : SummitPost

Preface

This list page forms part of a collection of sub-pages that will support an overarching Area/Range page for the Grampian Mountains in Scotland. Originally the list was intended to be presented on the Area/Range page itself, however, due to the length of the list, and the implications this has to the presentation and load times of the main page, it was decided to remove it from the main body of the work and present it separately.

Introduction

The Grampian Mountains are home to many famous and iconic British peaks including such attractions as Ben Nevis, Ben Macdui, Lochnagar and Ben Arthur. This page lists those that qualify to be classified as Munros.

What's a Munro?

A Munro is a member of one of the worlds most famous mountain lists, the Munros (obviously), and in Britain Munro Bagging has become a popular pastime for thousands of walkers and climbers. Basically a Munro is a Scottish mountain which exceeds 3,000 feet (914.4 metres) in height. They are named after Sir Hugh Munro (1856–1919), who in 1891 made the first attempt at an exhaustive catalogue of such hills, known as Munro's Tables. Since then they have undergone numerous revisions, with the most recent revision having taken place in 1997. The current version of the table lists 284 Munro’s and 227 Munro Tops (peaks above 3000ft that are not considered to be separate mountain).

How to use this page

The Map:
The map is interactive and you can get name and height information for the mountains by hovering your mouse cursor over the red triangles. When a little 'hand symbol' appears over a triangle it means that there is a page on Summitpost for that mountain, just click on the triangle to be shown the relevant mountain/rock page.

Tip: Look out for these
