Scotland has a huge range of mountain landscapes, from the Southern Uplands’ rolling hills to the Cairngorms’ arctic plateaus to the jagged peaks of Torridon and Skye. 283 majestic summits rise above 3000ft – the famous Munros – and below them are spectacular lochs, forests and rivers. The various scenery has something for everyone: massive cliffs for rock and ice climbs, long high ridges for hillwalking, rolling plateaus for ski touring and forests and glens for long-distance walks. There is ample opportunity for wild camps as well as other accommodation options.
