Peakbagger Website Links
The embedded links below take you to the interactive Peakbagger website listing all hills under that applicable classification including an interactive location map (bottom of each page). If you click on a date under 'ascent date' (right hand column) for a peak and then on the new page scroll down to the bottom right you will be be able to download my gpx file for that particular peak. Invariably the Peakbagger entry will also contain a detailed route account/description of the ascent and an interactive map overview of the route. If you click on 'Peak' (left hand column) and scroll down to the bottom left you will have a choice of a variety of gpx files from all Peakbagger contributors for that peak.

Munros
A Munro is defined as a mountain in Scotland with a height over 3,000 feet (914.4 m), and which is on the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) official list of Munros; there is no explicit topographical prominence requirement. There are 282 Munro Tops according to the SMC and the Peakbaggers website.The best known Munro is Ben Nevis (Beinn Nibheis), which is the highest mountain in the British Isles at 4,413 feet (1,345 m).
Corbetts
The Corbetts are peaks in Scotland that are between 2,500 and 3,000 feet (762.0 and 914.4 m) high with a prominence of at least 500 feet (152.4 m). The list was compiled in the 1920s by John Rooke Corbett, a Bristol-based climber and SMC member, and was published posthumously after his sister passed it to the SMC. As of April 2020, there were 222 Corbetts.
Grahams
Grahams are mountains in Scotland between 2,000 and 2,499 feet (610 and 762 metres) high, with a drop of at least 150 metres (490 feet) all round. A list of 219* mountains fitting these criteria was first published in 1992 by Alan Dawson in his now very expensive book The Relative Hills of Britain.
*There are some Graham lists that give a total of 224. As I am recording on the Peakbagger website I will use their total of 219.
​
Donalds
Donalds are mountains in the Scottish Lowlands over 2,000 ft (610 m), amongst other criteria. The list was compiled by Percy Donald in 1935, and is maintained by the SMC. There are 89 Donalds
Marilyns
Marilyns are defined as peaks with a prominence of 150 metres (490ft) or more, regardless of height or any other merit. Thus, Marilyns can range from being mountains with a height above 600 m (2,000 ft), to being relatively small hills.
As of April 2020, there were 2,011 Marilyns in the British Isles, with 1,219 Marilyns in Scotland, 454 Marilyns in Ireland, 175 in England, 158 in Wales, and 5 in the Isle of Man.
