Nine of the best Corbetts to climb in Scotland

Size isn't everything. In the case of the Munro's smaller sibling the Corbett, this is certainly the case.

Corbetts are defined as peaks between 2,500 and 3,000 feet.

Often ignored by those who have eyes only for towering peaks that exceed the magic 3,000 feet mark, the 222 Corbetts (defined as any peak between 2,500 and 3,000 feet) that pepper Scotland are every bit as varied and spectacular as their lofty neighbours.

Don’t be fooled by these peaks’ shorter stature however: they pack a punch and are often difficult to ascend.
