Some Scottish Hills
Scotland has the highest and finest hills in Britain although they are all very low compared with the rest of the world. Ben Nevis is only 4408 feet high. One hundred years ago last year Sir Hugh Munro listed all those hills over 3000 feet high and climbing all the hills in this list - the Munros - has become a popular goal of British hillwalkers.
