About the Corbetts
The Corbetts are the category of Scottish hills that sit below the Munros - they are between 2500 and 3000 feet high. Unlike the Munros, the Corbetts have a strict definition on separation from surrounding hills - they must have 500 feet of descent on all sides.
The original list of the Corbetts was drawn up in the 1920s by John Rooke Corbett, a member of the Scottish Mountaineering Club who was based in Bristol, although the list wasn't published until 1953 in the first edition of Munro's tables. Corbett himself was the first person to complete the list, in 1943.
As with the Munros, the Scottish Mountaineering Club keep a list of all hillwalkers who have written in to register that they have ascended all of the Corbetts.
