Corbetts
This is a list of Corbett mountains in Scotland by height. Corbetts are defined as Scottish mountains between in height with a prominence over ; solely imperial measurement thresholds. The first list was compiled in the 1920s by John Rooke Corbett, a Bristol-based climber and Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") member, and was published posthumously, after his sister passed it to the SMC, in the 1953 edition of ''Munro's Tables''. Corbetts are the next category down from the Munros and Munro Tops in terms of height (e.g. below the threshold), but their explicit prominence threshold of , ensure they are material peaks. By definition, all Corbetts, given their prominence, are Marilyns. The SMC keeps a list of Corbetts. , there were 222 Corbetts in Scotland. 21 of these 222 Corbetts have a prominence that exceeds the P600 threshold of , which would class them as "Majors". The highest Corbett, Beinn a' Chlaidheimh, at is just below the threshold for a Munro, a status ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Database Of British And Irish Hills
The mountains and hills of the British Isles are categorised into various lists based on different combinations of elevation, prominence, and other criteria such as isolation. These lists are used for peak bagging, whereby hillwalkers attempt to reach all the summits on a given list, the oldest being the 282 Munros in Scotland, created in 1891. A height above 2,000 ft, or more latterly 610 m, is considered necessary to be classified as a mountain – as opposed to a hill – in the British Isles. With the exception of Munros, all the lists require a prominence above . A prominence of between (e.g. some Nuttalls and Vandeleur-Lynams), does not meet the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA) definition of an "independent peak", which is a threshold over . Most lists consider a prominence between as a "top" (e.g. many Hewitts and Simms). Marilyns, meanwhile, have a prominence above , with no additional height threshold.

List Of Mountains Of The British Isles By Height
This is a list of mountains in Britain and Ireland by height and by prominence. Height and prominence are the most important metrics for the classifications of mountains by the UIAA; with isolation a distant third criterion. The list is sourced from the ''Database of British and Irish Hills'' ("DoBIH") for peaks that meet the consensus height threshold for a mountain, namely ; the list also rules out peaks with a prominence below and thus, the list is therefore precisely a list of the 2,756 Simms in the British Isles (as at October 2022). Many classifications of mountains in the British Isles consider a prominence between as being a "top", and not a mountain; however, using the prominence threshold gives the broadest possible list of mountains. For a ranking of mountains with a higher prominence threshold use: * List of Marilyns in the British Isles, for ranking by height and by prominence, of peaks with prominence over ; or * List of P600 mountains in the British Isles, for ...

Goat Fell
Goat Fell (marked as Goatfell by the Ordnance Survey; Scottish Gaelic: Gaoda Bheinn) is the highest point on the Isle of Arran. At 874 metres (2,867 ft), it is one of four Corbetts on the island. The mountain, along with nearby Brodick Castle, is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The name is believed to mean 'Goat Mountain' (from the Norse ''geita''). Ascent Due to the popularity of "Scotland in miniature" (Arran), Goat Fell is a very popular peak and there are many possible routes of ascent, some of which may be combined with visits to the summits of other nearby peaks. The most commonly used route, a constructed path of just over 3 miles (5 km) in length, starts from near Brodick Castle in Cladach. Initially the path leads up through the forested grounds of the castle, passing many rhododendron bushes. At just under 1,000 ft (300 m) above sea level the path leaves the forestry, and the route continues through bare moorland, reachin ...

John Rooke Corbett (27 September 1876 – 13 August 1949), better known as J. Rooke Corbett was one of the founder-members of The Rucksack Club and their Convener of Rambles. In the 1920s Corbett compiled a list of Scottish hills between 2500 and 3000 feet with a prominence of at least 500 feet. It was not published until after his death, when his sister passed it to the Scottish Mountaineering Club. It is now well known to Scottish hillwalkers as The Corbetts. Early life Rooke Corbett attended both Hulme and Manchester Grammar Schools.
