The Last Munro

by Joe Sharp

In memory of Sir Hugh Munro 1856 - 1919.

Munro was the first person to systematically list all the Scottish mountains above 3000 feet (914m) and his tables were first published in 1891. He began a revision of the list in 1919, but died in France before this could be completed. Munro was never to climb all the mountains on his list. Sadly, he had only two remaining when he died.

'Munro Bagging' has become an ambitious task for hill-walkers in Scotland. There are 284 of these hills on the list.
