	4 - Ben Stack A very distinctive little hill, Schiehallion-esque in shape if not size (coming soon)
	5 - Merkland Corbetts Between drab moorland and the dramatic north-west coast is a quiet transition area with several peaks
	6 - Ben Klibreck Ben Klibreck covers a vast area above forestry and moorland to the north of Lairg
	7 - Quinag A stunning mountain from any angle. 3 of the peaks are distinctive enough to be corbetts
	8 - Assynt Bouldery peaks with fine views over Coigach. A visit to the Bone Caves is recommended
	9 - Suilven and Canisp Long walks in from any direction to reach these iconic peaks (coming soon)
	10 - Cul Mor, Cul Beag and Stac Pollaidh These rough hills sit in some of the most stunning scenery in Scotland. Stalker's paths access the hills and a beautiful 'lost valley' with a lochan and beach can be found.
	11 - Inverlael Varied peaks in the vast area east of Ullapool. You'll need good navigation skills in poor visibility
	12 - Carn Chuinneag A pleasant walk in along a fine track leads to grassy slopes and a fine view point (coming soon)
	13 - Wyvis Recently improved paths tackle the errosion on Inverness's 'Ben'
	14 - The Fannaichs A long chain of 9 munros. Once up on the ridge, the going is easy over grass and paths
	15 - An Teallach and Fisherfield Dramatic An Teallach leads into a remote area with some wonderful peaks
	16 - Slioch Majestic and appearing quite impenetrable, Slioch is actually easily accessed from Loch Maree
	17 - Flowerdale Forest Corbetts A wonderful hidden area north of Torridon awaits to be explored. A fine but rough track aims in to Loch na h-Oidhche from where a circular route bounds over heather and grass
	18 - Beinn Alligin and Beinn Dearg Beinn Alligin's sandstone terraces are split by the dramatic Eag Dhubh. Some fine scrambling to be enjoyed
	19 - Liathach Situated in the heart of Torridon, Liathach has some fine scrambling and the hardest mainland munro-top
	20 - Beinn Eighe Lots of varied route choices over rocky and bouldery summits. Coire Mhic Fhearchair is simply stunning
	21 - Applecross Corbetts Stunning high cliffs and butresses protect vast plateaux, however the range is readily accessed to gain wonderful panoramas
	22 - Beinn Damh A dramatic little peak. Ideal for a fairly relaxed afternoon's ascent, the main route up is pathed and easier than it looks.
	23 - Coulin Forest North Often when the tops of Beinn Eighe, Beinn Alligin and Liathach are sulking in thick mist, Sgurr Dubh and Sgorr nan Lochan Uaine on the other side of Glen Torridon will be cloud free and worth visiting.
	24 - Coulin Forest South Varied terrain and bouldery peaks with excellent views to Torridon and Skye. Accessed by fine paths
