When Sir Hugo Munro compiled a list of Scottish mountains over 3000ft back in 1891, he could hardly have predicted the enthusiasm that would arise for climbing them all. But the popularity of Munro-bagging has left many of Scotland’s finest mountains overlooked by walkers.This book sets out to champion some of those smaller peaks, selected for their character, location, views and sheer beauty.
