3,000 Feet

Event information

3,000 Feet is the untold story of Hugh Munro, the man whose name has become synonymous with Scotland's highest mountains.

Scottish mountaineering originated in the sciences, academia and the arts. But these hill-going pioneers came across a society in the Highland glens that had only just undergone immense upheaval with far-reaching consequences. Their journeys bridged societies, language, class and culture in pursuit of the mountain summits.

While modern-day athletes test themselves against these summits, Munro's enduring list of "Mountains Exceeding 3,000 Feet in Height" has evolved into a cultural cornerstone of modern-day Scotland, building a legacy that Munro himself could never have imagined.
