This is a list of Corbett mountains in Scotland by height . Corbetts are defined as Scottish mountains between 2,500–3,000 feet (762.0–914.4 m) in height with a prominence of at least 500 feet (152.4 m); solely imperial measurement thresholds.
7-698: 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 ( i.e. below the elevation threshold of 3,000 ft or 914.4 m), but their explicit prominence threshold of 500 feet (152 m), ensure they are material peaks. By definition, all Corbetts, given their prominence, are Marilyns . The SMC keeps
14-526: A list of Corbetts. As of October 2018, there were 222 Corbetts in Scotland. 21 of these 222 Corbetts have a prominence that exceeds the P600 threshold of 600 metres (1,969 ft), which would class them as "Majors". The highest Corbett, Beinn a' Chlaidheimh , at 914 metres (2,999 ft) is just below the threshold for a Munro, a status it held until it was demoted in 2012 based on new surveys; it ranks as
21-525: The Corbetts . Rooke Corbett attended both Hulme and Manchester Grammar Schools . While attending St John's College, Cambridge from 1895 to 1898, he walked from Manchester to Cambridge at the beginning of term, and back again at the end. He was the fourth person to complete the Munros in 1930 and the first Englishman to do so. He was also the second to complete the "Tops".

28-572: The 478th highest mountain in the British Isles , on the Simms classification. The Corbett with the greatest prominence is Goat Fell at 874 metres (2,867 ft), which ranks it as the 16th most prominent mountain in the British Isles . Climbers who climb all of the Corbetts are called Corbetteers , with the first being John Corbett himself who completed them in 1943. The second completion

The DoBIH uses the following codes for the various classifications of mountains and hills in the British Isles , which many of the above peaks also fall into: Prefixes: *s sub; *x deleted Suffixes: = twin John Rooke Corbett John Rooke Corbett (27 September 1876 – 13 August 1949), better known as J.

42-488: The founder-members of The Rucksack Club and their Convener of Rambles. In the 1920s Corbett compiled a list of Scottish hills between 2,500 and 3,000 feet (762.0 and 914.4 metres) with a prominence of at least 500 feet (152.4 metres). It was not published until after his death, when his sister passed it to the Scottish Mountaineering Club ; these hills are now well known to Scottish hillwalkers as
49-700: Was by William McKnight Docharty in May 1960. A list of Corbetteers is maintained, which as of July 2018, totalled 678. This list was downloaded from the Database of British and Irish Hills ("DoBIH") in September 2020, and are peaks the DoBIH marks as being Corbetts ("C"). The SMC updates their list of official Corbetts from time to time, and the DoBIH also updates their measurements as more detailed surveys are recorded, so these tables should not be amended or updated unless
