List of Munro mountains

This is a list of Munro mountains and Munro Tops in Scotland by height. Munros are defined as Scottish mountains over in height, and which are on the Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") official list of Munros. In addition, the SMC define Munro Tops, as Scottish peaks above that are not considered Munros. Where the SMC lists a Munro Top, due to "insufficient separation", it will also list the "Parent Peak", a Munro, of the Munro Top. As of 6 September 2012, there were 282 Scottish Munros after the SMC confirmed that Beinn a' Chlaidheimh had been downgraded to a Corbett and as of 10 December 2020, there were 226 Scottish Munro Tops after Stob Coire na Cloiche, a Munro Top to Parent Peak Sgùrr nan Ceathramhnan, was surveyed at 912.5m and was deleted as a Munro Top and downgraded to a Corbett Top. The current SMC list totals 508 summits.

While the SMC does not use a prominence metric for classifying Munros, all but one of the 282 Munros have a prominence above , the exception being Maoile Lunndaidh at ; and apart from Am Basteir, all other Munros have a prominence above . In contrast, 69 Munro Tops have a prominence below , however, 14 Munro Tops have a prominence above , and the most prominent, Stob na Doire, is . The Munro Top, Càrn na Criche, would rank as the 5th largest Munro, if judged only on height.

Some authors have attempted to redefine Munros based on objective metric criteria. , 202 of the 282 Munros had a prominence above . Such hills have been called Real Munros or Marilyn Munros. No Munro Top had a prominence above (i.e. no Munro Top was a Marilyn). 130 Munros had a height above and a prominence above , while 88 had a prominence above . Both categories have been called Metric Munros.

The list of Munros dates from 1891, and 255 of the 282 Munros below, were on the original 1891 list; while 28 of the 226 Munro Tops, were once Munros. Climbers who complete all Munros in the prevailing Munro's Tables are called Munroists, and the first Munroist was A. E. Robertson in 1901; his is recorded as Munroist Number 1 on the official SMC list, which by 31 December 2023, numbered 7,654 names. Munroists are eligible to join the Munro Society.

Munro mountains by height

This list was downloaded from the Database of British and Irish Hills ("DoBIH") on 28 March 2026, and are peaks the DoBIH marks as being Munros ("M"). The SMC updates its list of official Munros from time to time, and the DoBIH also updates its measurements as new surveys are recorded, so these tables should not be amended or updated unless the entire DoBIH data is re-downloaded.

Munro Tops by height

This list was downloaded from the DoBIH in December 2021, and is restricted to peaks which the DoBIH marks as being Munro Tops ("MT"). The SMC updates its list of official Munro Tops from time to time, and the DoBIH also updates its measurements as more detailed surveys are recorded, so these tables should not be amended or updated unless the entire DoBIH data is re-downloaded again.
