<p><em>The mountains provide the spiritual nourishment so essential to a truer understanding of the hills and, ultimately, ourselves.</em></p><p>Munro bagging is a headily addictive pursuit, with the holy-grail of ¿compleation¿ the ultimate aim, currently achieved by around 7,000 Munroists.</p><p>It all began in 1891 when Sir Hugh Munro¿s Tables of 3,000-foot Scottish mountains appeared in <em>The Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal</em>. Since then, this innocent compilation of hills has become a hallowed hit-list.</p><p>Andrew Dempster traces the meandering course of this cult activity, which has gone from trickle to torrent in the space of a century. From early map-makers to current record-breakers, from the why and the wry to wildness and well-being, <em>The Munros: A History</em> explores the compulsions and philosophies underpinning the Munro phenomenon.</p>
