Scotland's Best Small Mountains : 40 of the best mountains in Scotland under 3000ft
Scotland's best mountains are not all Munros. From the rocky pinnacle of Suilven in Sutherland to the jagged Storr on Skye and the iconic Cobbler above Arrochar, the country's peaks under 3000ft are every bit as spectacular and rewarding as their taller neighbours.

About the book
Curated by author Kirstie Shirra, this second edition Cicerone guidebook covers 40 of Scotland's most distinctive summits under 3000ft across seven regions. Walks range from 5 to 25km with options to suit all abilities, from a first day on the Scottish hills to a seasoned hillwalker seeking something new. Iconic summits featured include Suilven, Quinag, Stac Pollaidh, the Storr, the Pap of Glencoe, the Cobbler, Ben Venue, Goatfell and An Sgurr on Eigg, spread across Sutherland, Torridon, Glencoe, the Trossachs and the islands of Skye, Eigg, Mull and Arran. Each route includes 1:50,000 OS mapping and GPX downloads, with one main ascent per mountain plus alternative traverses, circuits and shortcuts. A Gaelic glossary of common mountain features helps walkers connect with the landscape and its names, while practical planning and access information throughout guide you around all seven regions covered. The Munros are just the beginning—this guidebook is proof that Scotland's most memorable mountain days have nothing to do with height and everything to do with character.
