Hill walking and mountaineering are amongst the most popular of all leisure activities and for good reason too.

It offers the combination of fresh air, a sense of freedom and escape from the pressures of daily routines, open vistas and hearty exercise to suit all levels of ability and fitness.

The mountains account for over 70% of Scotland’s land mass and have been shaped by a variety of processes which offer a rich and complex geological heritage

With over 284 Munros (separate mountains over 3,000 ft / 914 m), a further 511 Munro Tops (subsidiary summits to Munros), 220 Corbetts (separate mountains over 2,500 ft / 762m) and countless other summits above 1,500 ft / 600m, the hill-walker and mountaineer are truly spoilt for choice.
