2025 · ★ 5

This is the remarkable story of the origins of Scottish mountaineering and of Hugh Thomas Munro, the man whose name has become synonymous with Scotland's highest mountains. While modern-day athletes test themselves against these timeless mountain summits, Munro's enduring list of "Mountains Exceeding 3,000 Feet in Height" has evolved into a cultural cornerstone of modern-day Scotland, building a legacy that Munro himself could never have imagined. Scottish mountaineering as we know it originated in the sciences, academia and the arts. But these hill-going pioneers came across a society in the Highland glens that had only just undergone immense upheaval with far-reaching consequences. Their journeys bridged societies, language, class and culture in pursuit of the very summits we still climb to this day.
