Scotland is home to many amazing mountains! Some of the most famous are called Munros. A Munro is a Scottish mountain that is over 3,000 feet (914.4 metres) tall. There are 282 of these special mountains.

This list shows the Munros, organized into different areas of Scotland. The mountains are listed from tallest to shortest within each area. Some mountains are also called "Munro Tops" if they are part of a larger Munro but don't stand out quite as much.
