The Munro Society

The Munro Society

Founded in 2002 membership is open to mountaineers who have climbed all the Munro summits in Scotland as listed in Munro's Tables - currently there are 284 mountains of Munro status with a height of 3000ft or more above sea level. Many such Munroists, who are often said to have 'compleated'*, register their detail with the Clerk of the List. This official list is maintained by the Clerk on behalf of the Scottish Mountainnering Club, and now exceeds 4,000 names. However a substantial percentage of 'compleaters' do not register their details for a variety of reasons.

The Munro Society welcomes all Munroists who have completed whether or not they have registered with the Clerk of the list.
