The Munros: mountain myths and milestones
Manage episode 429624834 series 2887481
How many have you bagged? Mountaineers and hikers from across the UK and beyond have flocked to Scotland to take on the Munros – Scottish peaks more than 3,000 feet high – ever since the list of such mountains was created by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891.
The National Trust for Scotland cares for 46 of these Munros, including Ben Lomond, Ben Lawers, Ben Macdui and Torridon’s Spidean a’Choire Léith. Jackie Bird sits down with Andrew Dempster, author of The Munros: A History, to trace the ever-increasing popularity of Munro bagging.
Who was the first to complete all 282 peaks? What new records continue to be set? And what is it about Hugh Munro’s list that has so significantly captured the public imagination?
