This fully revised and definitive edition of the Scottish Mountaineering Club’s original guidebook describes the best walking routes on Scotland’s 222 Corbetts. Standing between 2,500 and 3,000 feet and bounded on all sides with a descent of at least 500 feet, these hills are distinctly separated from their neighbours, providing excellent less-trodden journeys in some of the finest wild landscapes.
Comprehensive descriptions recommend ascents, descents, link-ups and route times for each Corbett, with user-friendly maps to help you plan the most enjoyable days out. The beauty of these much-loved hills is brought to life throughout with spectacular photography.
Whether you’re an aficionado or an occasional walker seeking inspiration and a little bit more solitude, The Corbetts is a must-have for any hill enthusiast.
Praise for The Corbetts
… the SMC’s Corbetts offers an insight which can only come from hiking the hills yourself … With the publication of The Corbetts, the SMC completes its trio of guides to Scotland’s mountains and hills. Taken together, it is hard to imagine a better set of guides to Scotland’s magnificent mountains. – Xander Elliards, The National
This is a book that can be enjoyed by anyone with a love of the mountains, even if you never intend climbing another, although sitting flicking through the pages will likely make you desperate to put on your boots. – Munro Moonwalker
The custom designed maps are brilliant, the shading imparting a real three dimensional feel to the flat page … Whilst the book is a one stop data store for all you need to know about the Corbetts, it is done in a gloriously luxurious fashion. – Adrian Trendall, All Things Cuillin
As well as providing all the hard info, it’s a book that offers a healthy dose of inspiration. As a collective, this fantastic hill group has never looked better. – Dan Bailey, UKClimbing.com
