Hill list

Scotland's Corbetts

222 hills between 2,500ft and 3,000ft with at least 500ft of drop on all sides. Wilder than the Munros, quieter, and often better.

The Corbetts are named for John Rooke Corbett, who compiled the list in the 1920s. To qualify, a Scottish hill must be between 2,500ft (762m) and 3,000ft (914m) with a drop of at least 500ft (152m) on all sides — the re-ascent rule that stops every bump on a long ridge from counting.

The result is a list of 222 hills scattered across the whole of Scotland, from the Arrochar Alps to the far north-west. Because most walkers are focused on the Munros, the Corbetts stay remarkably quiet — it's genuinely common to see no one else on a Corbett day twenty minutes from a busy Munro car park.

Compared to the Munros, Corbett days typically involve longer walk-ins, more pathless terrain, and more variety. You'll do more bog, more stalkers' paths, and more proper navigation. You'll also see more red deer, more ptarmigan, and more views that don't have other walkers in the foreground.
