The Corbetts and Other Scottish Hills

S. Johnstone, H. Brown, D. Bennet (August 1996).

BookThe companion volume to "The Munros" shows routes up every 2500ft+ Corbett, and also includes a selection of smaller but still very interesting mountains in Scotland. In many ways even more valuable than the original "Munros" book because these hills get much less coverage elsewhere.

The Munroist's Companion

Robin N. Campbell (December 1998).

BookDo you want to know about the history of the Munros; about early Munroists; about the detail of the debate about what does or does not make a "separate mountain"; or just read about the great names of early Scottish climbing going out ill-equipped and getting lost just like ordinary mortals? If so, then this truly excellent book is for you.

Munro's Tables

Sir Hugo T. Munro, Derek Bearhop (November 1997).

BookSince their original publication, Munro's Tables have been through a number of revisions. The latest was marked by the publication of this edition in 1997 and increased the number of Munros to 284. This book contains a great deal more than the Munro tables and is fascinating background for those driech days when you just don't fancy climbing for real.
