"Scotland's Mountains Before the Mountaineers" by Ian R Mitchell

Product Description

Who were the first people to 'conquer' Scotland's mountains and why did they do it?

Which clergyman climbed all the Cairngorm 4,000-ers nearly two centuries ago?

How many Munros did Bonnie Prince Charlie bag?

Which bandit and sheep rustler hid in the mountains while his wife saw off the sheriff officers with a shotgun?

According to Gaelic tradition, how did an outlier of the rugged Corbett Beinn Arid Charr come to be called Spider Motrich, 'Martha's Peak'?

Who was the murderous clansman who gave his name to Beinn Phionnlaidh?

In this ground-breaking book, Ian Mitchell tells the story of explorations and ascents in the Scottish Highlands in the days before mountaineering became a popular sport - when Jacobites, bandits, poachers and illicit distillers traditionally used mountains as sanctuary.  The book also gives a detailed account of the early map makers, road builders, geologists, astronomers an naturalists, many of whom ascended hitherto untrodden summits while working in the Scottish Highlands.
