Hard, exposed scrambling along the ridge between Am Bodach and Stob Coire Lèith - scrambling experience and a good head for heights is required as well as fitness. Famed as the narrowest ridge on the British mainland (though Liathach and An Teallach must run it close), the Aonach Eagach gives a thrilling and spectacular traverse for keen and experienced scramblers, linking the Munros of Meall Dearg and Sgòrr nam Fiannaidh. The route is a grade 2/3 scramble, and is included in some climbing guides as a 'Moderate' rock climb; it involves probably the trickiest scrambling on any Walkhighlands route. Ensure you have the necessary skills and experience, choose a dry day (the rocks are slippery when wet) and leave plenty of time to complete the route in daylight. If in any doubt, it is best to hire a guide.

Beinn a' Bheithir is a mountain south of Ballachulish and Loch Leven in the Scottish Highlands. This magnificent mountain ridgewalk takes two Munro summits: Sgorr Dhearg at 1,024 m and Sgorr Dhonuill at 1,001 m. The mountain forms a horseshoe shape, with ridges pointing north enclosing the corrie of Gleann a' Chaolais

Boggy ground lower down, with a river crossing late in the walk which could be impassable in wet weather. The upper slopes give better walking. This pair of Munros are much less visited than their better known neighbour Creag Meagaidh to the east. Their lower slopes may be boggy, but the walk along the summit ridge of Beinn a'Chaorainn is a delight.

Good approach tracks, then steep, pathless mountains with both grassy and stony sections. Peat bog on the approach to Beinn a'Chlachair and extremely steep on the descent. These three Munros are quite isolated in the wilds south of Loch Laggan. Beinn a'Chlachair is a massive whale-like ridge with steep sides, Geal Chàrn a sprawling mass and Creag Pitridh a pointed summit on its northern slopes.

Beinn na Lap may be remote but the close proximity of Corrour rail station. The walk up is a plod up a trackless moorland but the views - taking in the higher mountains nearby as well as part of Rannoch Moor - are excellent.

Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in Scotland, the United Kingdom and the British Isles. The summit is 1,345 metres above sea level and is the highest land in any direction for 739 kilometres.

Binnein Mòr is a magnificent peak crowning a graceful ridge and is the highest of the Mamores. In combination with its rocky neighbour Na Gruagaichean it gives a superb ridgewalk.

Buachaille Etive Beag is often overlooked in favour of its more illustrious neighbour. It is, however, a magnificent ridge in its own right, offering superlative views down Loch Etive and of the surrounding peaks of Glencoe. It also has the benefit of an excellent path easing the ascent and descent from the Lairig Èilde.

Càrn a' Mhàim is a Scottish mountain situated in the inner part of the Cairngorms range, some 15 kilometres west of Braemar in the county of Aberdeenshire.

Chno Dearg is an undistinguished rounded mountain which would be little visited if it were not a Munro; it's neighbour Stob Coire Sgriodain is much rockier with some real character - it is also a stunning viewpoint.

Rugged mountain walk. The summit plateau of Creag Meagaidh can be difficult to navigate in poor visibility - precipices nearby!. Creag Meagaidh is a magnificent massif, a bare plateau fringed by some of the grandest cliffs in Scotland. This traverse also takes in two further neighbouring Munros and makes for a memorable day.

Sgùrr Thuilm and Sgùrr nan Coireachan

This pair of Munros lie just south of the Rough Bounds of Knoydart but share the fine rugged and demanding character of their northern neighbours. They give a long but superb mountain day out with grand views.

Scree and shattered rocky ridges on Stob Ban; easier going on Mullach nan Coirean, with some boggy ground on descent. This is a steep mountain walk, but with good paths for most of the route. Stob Ban is one of the finest peaks in the Mamores, its quartzite summit giving magnificent views. A very fine ridge traverse links it to its westerly neighbour Mullach nan Coirean, giving an excellent circuit.

Track, then very muddy path up to the ridge. Steep climb up to Meall Cian Dearg, then stony ridgewalking. This fine pair of Munros - commonly known as the Easains - give a fairly long ridgewalk high above the glacial trough of Loch Treig. Stob Coire Easain in particular is a fine peak and offers superb views; it is quite hidden away behind other summits from most roads which perhaps explains why it isn't better known.

The Grey Corries is the long chain of mountains set to the east of the Nevis Range. Well seen from the popular viewpoint of the Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge, their summits are covered with the quartzite scree that gives these mountains their name. The traverse of the Grey Corries main ridge gives a long and demanding but superb mountain walk. The route as described takes in the main three Munros, leaving a fourth for a separate walk

Gaor Bheinn, also known in English as Gulvain, is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. It is in Lochaber, south of Loch Arkaig and north of the road west of Fort William

Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh and Meall na Teanga rise steeply above Lochy Lochy opposite the busy A82, and are commonly known as the Loch Lochy Munros. Their ascent from Kilfinnan begins with an approach through dense plantations, but once on the hills the views are superb.

Stob Coir'an Albannaich is a little visited mountain with fine northern corries. This route combines it with neighbouring Meall nan Eun to give an escape from the crowds in Glencoe to the north. Very boggy terrain on the lower slopes; higher up the peaks have vast areas of rocky slabs. Steep, craggy terrain is encountered on the descents from both peaks, requiring care and good navigation skills.

Most wild and remote mountains in the UK. Meall Buidhe, Luinne Bheinn, Ladhar Bheinn.Terrain is very rough going. Ascent to initial ridge up steep, pathless slope often with high bracken. Ridges are rocky and rough. Path near the loch on return is very boggy in parts. We did Meall Buidhe, Luinne Bheinn Inverie side and Ladhar Bheinn from Barisdale side

Buachaille Etive Mòr is one of the best known and loved of all the Munro peaks. The epic view of the mountain from the main A82 road makes it appear quite unassailable and is one of the most photographed sights in Scotland. Steep and rough ascent followed by a bouldery ridge. The descent is also steep and scrambly in places; once across the burn the walk out through the Lairig has a good path.

Sgòr na h-Ulaidh is the forgotten Munro amongst the Glencoe peaks, being out of sight for most of the road through the glen. Combined with the Corbett Meall na Lighiche, it gives a day with superb views - but with a very steep ascent. There is a good deal of very steep, pathless going. The ascent up to Sgòr na h-Ulaidh from the bealach is exceptionally steep on grass and rocks and requires careful route finding - avoid descending this way.

Pathless hillwalking. Steep open slope through ski area, grassy plateau across Aonach Mòr then rockier ridge to Aonach Beag. Careful navigation required.

For experienced, fit mountain walkers who do not mind easy scrambling but are not climbers, this is the finest way to climb Ben Nevis. This is a truly spectacular route incorporating two Munros. It will live long in the memory and does true justice to the mountain. Good mountain paths for much of the route; pathless section on descent with burn crossing. The traverse of the arête is a long but easy scramble.
