Founded in 2002
membership is open to mountaineers who have climbed all the Munro
summits in Scotland as listed in Munro's Tables - currently there are
283 mountains of Munro status with a height of 3000ft or more above sea
level. Many such Munroists, who are often said to have 'compleated'*,
register their detail with the Clerk of the List. This official list is
maintained by the Clerk on behalf of the Scottish Mountaineering Club,
and now exceeds 4,000 names. However a substantial percentage of
'compleaters' do not register their details for a variety of reasons.
The Munro Society welcomes all Munroists who have completed whether or
not they have registered with the Clerk of the list.
The Society exists to bring together the wealth of mountain experience that members have accumulated and thus provide a forum to in which to share interests and concerns as well as creating opportunities for convivial gatherings.
The objectives of the Munro Society are:
- The access and conservation of Munros as areas of wild mountain land.
- To foster social and cultural exchange between members.
- To
establish and maintain an archive of material relative to the Munros
and Munroists.
*
The term 'compleation' has been used by various Clerks of the
List for many years. Compleat is an archaic spelling of complete.
