Scotland's Corbetts: Here are the 15 highest and lowest Corbett mountains - from Foinaven to Cnoc Coinnich

The mighty Munros may be better known, but these lesser peaks are also spectacular – and generally easier to bag.

Ben Loyal is one of Scotland's lowest Corbetts.

To qualify as a Corbett a Scottish mountain must be between 2,500 feet (762 metres) and 3,000 feet (914.4 metres) in height, with a drop of a least 500 feet between individual peaks.

They are named after John Rooke Corbett, a climber who first collated them in the 1920s – and whose list was published posthumously after his sister passed it to the Scottish Mountaineering Club.

While they are less famous – and high – than the 3,000 feet-plus Munros, many make for challenging climbs, while the easier ascents are perfect for those people who feel they are unable to take on a Munro.
