Creag Toll a'Choin was never officially a twin but turned out to be 0.35m higher than Maoile Lunndaidh. This was a surprise, as some OS maps show Maoile Lunndaidh to be 2m higher, so a second survey was carried out to confirm the finding.

The real explosion in the popularity of Munro-bagging came in the late 1980s and today the numbers are huge. It might appear daunting when the steep slopes are viewed from the north, but looking at it from the east shows that it’s a slender mountain with a long slope that gradually rises to its peak, and it’s this route that is so appealing to beginner hill walkers. Those who intend to do some hiking and climbing in Scotland should know that the most crucial skill they need to have is knowing their own abilities and limitations. What some outdoor enthusiasts see as a really difficult hike will be seen as a mere walk in the park by others, and vice versa. To put it simply, there is no such thing as the definition of a trekking route’s objective difficulty – it’s all up to the individual. Previously classed as a Corbett ("xC" §DoBIH codes). Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") Munros, ranked by height (DoBIH, 17 October 2023)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. Sir Hugh never managed to complete the ascent of all the summits on his list, and it was left to the Revd A E Robertson to complete the first round of the Munros in 1901. Since then, attempting to ascend all the peaks ('Munro-bagging') has become a popular pursuit among British walkers and mountaineers. Those gearing for their very first Munro bagging adventure should definitely have at least a couple of hiking trips under their belts. Previous trekking experiences show a person what he or she is capable of, what kind of areas they’re more familiar with, what they’re comfortable with, and how far they can walk. Munro baggers and environmentalist critics of the railway insist that walking is the best route to the top, with soaring cliff faces, winter snowdrifts and a visiting reindeer herd in the Northern Corries.

Munro published his findings in the Scottish Mountaineering Club journal in 1891 with a set of tables that detailed 538 summits over 3,000 feet. Of these, 282 were classified as separate mountains, and it’s these that we refer to today as ‘Munros’. Cairngorms National Park has more than 50 Munros, accounting for a third of the UK’s terrain above 1970ft (600m), and its namesake peak is one of the most popular climbs in Scotland. One simple reason for this is the easy head start offered by driving to the ski resort car park at 2080ft (635m), with the option to continue to 3599ft (1097m) on the funicular railway when it reopens in 2023. If you do take the train, you may be obliged to join a guided walk to reach the summit at 4084ft (1245m). The list of all distinct peaks in Scotland which are 600m or more and less than 2500ft (762m) with a drop of at least 150m between each peak and any higher land. Like the Corbetts, this list is well defined and requires only the aforementioned rules and sufficiently detailed topographic data to reproduce the list of hills in the set. Each Munro is represented by a coloured triangle. The colour represents the Munro area that it belongs to; each of the 17 Munro areas has its own colour which is identified by a Munro area key at the bottom right hand side of the map.

If we imagine a difficulty scale that goes from 1 to 5, with 1 being a walk in the park and 5 being an extremely challenging climb, most Munros will be somewhere at number 3. Another thing to mention here is that the vast majority of these mountains do not require actual climbing with ropes. In other words, scrambling certainly isn’t something you need to worry about if you’re a complete beginner when it comes to Munro bagging.
