Munro Map with Munro Tick-List Scotland Munro Bagging Map

Product Information

Buachaille Etive Mór in Glencoe is one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland – you’ve probably seen it on postcards and calendars – and more than 30,000 people try to climb it every year. This beautiful ridge is only a short drive from Glasgow and is home to two Munros: Stob Dearg and Stob na Broige. As its name suggests, this is a collection of detailed maps of all the Munros in Scotland. It was written by Harvey Maps (a fitting surname) and is a genuine feast of topographic delight for map lovers. Within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, there are 21 Munros that attract climbers and hikers from all around the globe. Some of these notable peaks include: A lot of experienced Munro baggers consider this one to be the easiest. Besides the high starting point and the excellent trail, Schiehallion also provides phenomenal views. Buachaille Etive Beag Still, there are a couple of skills that both the beginners and experienced mountaineers need to possess for a successful Munro-bagging adventure, and these include: Knowing Your Abilities & Limitations

The Munro Society: This is another club for Munro baggers, although The Munro Society aims to serve compleationists rather than people that are still working towards finishing their first round. The society aims to act as a social network as well as provide mountain surveys and environmental reports on Scotland’s changing mountain scenery. Donald Bennet; Rab Anderson (2006).

Getting to the Trossachs is a short drive from Glasgow and Edinburgh so you can easily bag this Munro on a day trip without having to book overnight accommodation. However, with such stunning scenery on your doorstep, I’d advise spending at least a couple of days in the area to explore the pretty village of Balloch, Queen Elizabeth Forest, Loch Lomond, and of course, Ben Lomond. First-aid kit: Ensure it includes items such as bandages, plasters, pain relief, and blister prevention.

Before setting off, ensure that you are familiar with The Scottish Outdoor Access Code and abide by the instructions in the code and please, take only photographs and leave only footprints. Explore the Bens and Munros Beinn a' Chroin in Crianlarich is the youngest Munro. Its classification was changed by the SMC from a Munro Top to a Munro in 1997.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. What makes a mountain great? Is it the difficulty to climb it? The views from the summit? The wildlife that lives on it? It’s quite a twisty-turny route as it has to bypass quite a few gorges, but the effort involved is more than worth it, and visitors will have umpteen photo opportunities of Strathmore as they forge ahead through the heather-covered lower slopes. Towards the top, it gets steeper and more barren as the plants thin out and the slopes become scree-covered, and it becomes a downright scramble once you get nearer to the summit. Ben Lomond is the Munro in Scotland that most people bag first. The gradual path to the top is wide and well-maintained, although it can often get quite busy, so don’t expect to be alone with your thoughts for very long. From the top you’ll get magnificent views over Loch Lomond and out towards the Trossachs.

Previously classed as a Corbett ("xC" §DoBIH codes). Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") Munros, ranked by height (DoBIH, 17 October 2023) Ben Macdui is the second highest peak in Britain, behind Ben Nevis. Macdui sits in the centre of a vast wilderness in Mar Lodge Estate, and the remote hike from the Linn of Dee up to the summit (avoiding the ski slopes on the Cairngorm) is 18 miles long. Among the 21 Munros in the National Park, Ben Lomond holds a special place as the most popular and accessible Munro, standing at 3,195ft (974m). Situated approximately 40 miles northwest of Glasgow, this mountain’s clear and gradual path attracts hillwalkers from around the world who wish to immerse themselves in the majestic beauty of Loch Lomond. The iconic Cairn Gorm isn’t strictly at one of our places, but it neighbours Mar Lodge Estate – in fact, some serious climbers like to bag Ben Macdui and Cairn Gorm in one go. Thanks to the different starting points along the climb, those of us who aren’t such confident climbers can still bag this famous Munro and enjoy the incredible Highland vistas from the summit.

Munro Map Details

Not wearing adequate footwear while Munro bagging is a recipe for disaster. Make sure to wear a pair of quality hiking boots with a good grip and ankle support. Gaiters & Trekking Poles Whilst Scottish Munros may be modest in height in comparison to some of the continental ranges, climbing them can be particularly treacherous on account of the latitude and Scottish weather. However, if you do reach the summit of pretty much any of the Munros, we can guarantee it will be worth your while as you will be rewarded with some of the most stunning views in the world! I’ve tried other brands but in my opinion, Berghaus boots offer the best combination of comfort and durability for the money, plus they’re generous with the ankle support and the soles are extra grippy. Most hikers and trekkers agree that the best way to spend a holiday in Scotland is by engaging in Munro bagging. While this activity can certainly be quite intimidating at first, nothing will stand in your way if you obtain the right equipment and skills for it.
