What is the Best Mountain in Scotland? 

Magic. I have done Steall, and Aonach Eagach. Long, long ago, I'm too ancient for that now. Brings a tear to my eye, seeing your vids. And I have in my memories Bidean, the Buchaille. Thank you.

Thanks for your effort and time spent for preparing this amazing video, Enjoyed watching it. Good luck! 😍

I agree with all of these - it is hard to go wrong with Glen Coe and the Torridons - only the Cuillins can match them. The Liathach pinnacles are difficult scrambles but the bypass path looks far hairier and a lot more exposed- I would stick with the pinnacles if I did it again. Great vids btw!

Loved it. Memories of Summer, brutal ascents, exposure,and the old watery knees! Good luck for Skye!

It's quite scary to be honest! Different world when you get there! But.......🥴👊

I'm Sevgi. Very good video. Loved it. Thanks. 😊🌷

Great video James! My top 5 favourite Munro's in order: An Teallach, Beinn Alligin, Beinn Liath Mhor, Ben Hope and Gleouraich/Spidean Mialach. There is something magical about the North West Highlands: Torridon, Assynt & Sutherland. Absolutely beautiful part of Scotland and the Earth. Also some fantastic corbetts up in the North West such as Quinag, Foinaven, Ben Loyal and Cranstackie.

Loving the journey, excellently shot and very inspiring.

I'm excited for your skye trip too 😃 my favourite place 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Brilliant James, as always! I'm inexperienced and I'll hopefully do more with friends that have the experience!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Stunning video James and what makes it better is the great weather you picked for them all. I ve done some of these but have been inspired for some great trips next year.

A very, very good choice James. Having done all your top 5 in differing weather conditions, Liathach was my first Munro and will always be my favourite as well. Enjoy your journey my friend and the linger on the memories that you will make along the way.

very good presentation, even links to hikes in description!

Oh James! Deffo living your best life! Love your videos they have all the right ingredients in the right amounts! I have no doubt you will achieve all your goals and more in 2023! Can't wait to see the videos .... take care oot there 😊

Great choice and amazing views. Thank you very much for these. Kind regards from Germany, Martin

Going to be adding these to our Scotland trips to-do list next year for sure.

Amazing views! I doubt I'll be doing those ones.. too scary!! Your videos are always shot so nicely from perspective of walker so I can just watch them as if I was there! 😄 Really enjoying following your adventure - thanks for sharing!!

Wow James outstanding video a great insight into the mountains of Scotland, keep up the good work 👏 atb👍

I've only done a select few but did liatach last week. Beautiful clear skies and snowy tops. I did trip on the second pinnacle and damaged my camera lens - ouch. My mates heart beated a little too quickly in that moment. Therefore, we ended up diverting to the bypass path just before the 3rd pinnacle as the sun was due to set in 2hrs. 1. Sgurr Alasdair - the views are just breathtaking. 2. Liatach - again but feel if we had more time and no scare it could have been even better! 3. Bidean Nam Bian via Lost Valley 4. Ben Nevis via CMD Arete 5. Ben More Assynt - views again wow. 1 and 2 are a toss up. I was just fitter at the time when doing the former so enjoyed the day more. I spent have the day on Liatach gagging for water lol

My top 5 (in no particular order): Quinag, An Teallach, Buachaille Etive Beag, A' Mhaighdean and Gleouraich. Also hoping for dry and calm days in 2023. Thanks for uploading, James. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛰👍

Outstanding hikes James brilliant video

Thanks James, I enjoy your top 5 videos. Hope you get good weather on Skye! And I hope too that you'll do a Corbetts journey when this one is completed!

Another cracking video, enjoying your videos tonight with a few cold beers

Enjoyed your review last year and this one great too. On first ascent of AE, I was struggling to make the climb down to the ridge from Am Bodach. A big, hairy guy in a traditional kilt, carrying a saltire came back along the ridge and just took hold of my foot and pulled it down about 3 inches to the nearest foothold and strode off back along the ridge - never saw him again. Once I recovered my composure (I said a few sweary words to myself), I had one of my finest days on the hills.

Great choice m8 fully aligned with you :)

Really enjoyed your video, great choice for your top 5, not done any of them yet! Skye will be awesome next year 🤙

For me it’s Probably not a Munro. Marsco on Skye is incredible! Beautiful walk in from sligachan, the 360 views of black cuillins, red cuillins, Applecross, torridon, skye bridge at the top are incredible. Have done it in winter as well and it’s even better with snow.

You've just filled my to do annual trip to Scotland 2023 minus the AE Ridge which ive done solo last year OMG. I just can't wait.. Great channel and love your style and content M ☘️

Some great video shooting. Beinn Alligin was my last Munro (Munroist 3011) but I did it the other way, horns first.

Really enjoyed your top 5, can't argue with you there James 👍😁

Been watching your videos for several months now, and You've given me loads of great inspiration for trips next year! On top of that I'm now addicted to Beluga Lagoon. Thanks for the vids!

Awesome choice James, some awesome footage too ! Hope you don't mind, but I used your "Car park boot lace up" idea for one of the shots in my GlenLyon4 Vlog, as a tip of my hat to you :)

Great choices James all bring back great memories.....top two yeah both brilliant....Skye something else too good luck with next year my friend getting closer 11 to do for me but your catching up !!

Amazing video !!!! Living in London it lets me drift off to happy times that I’ve had in the hills of western Scotland and that it won’t be long till I’m there again Keep up the content

Great video

Really enjoyed the video....top 5’s are always subjective but you may revise your list when you’ve done Gillean, an Teallach and Ladhar Bheinn ! Look forward to your next one. Munroist 4050.

Never walked a mountain in scotland yet, only the lake district and wales. Hoping to get up in 2023. Will save this vid for then

The Buachaille via Curved Ridge is my favourite mountain but I think An Teallach is definitely the best.

Done 3 of your top 5 and definitely agree with your top 2. My favourite 2 as well. Absolutely beltin mountains! Great footage too mate!

Superb maté excellent footage thanks

Glad you chose Liathach. I found a gully to descend between the Eastern Summit and the end of the Pinnacles going West to East which makes it possible to go directly to Beinn Eighe instead of going back to the road

Looking at your adventures mate you’ve had some cracking days on the hill 🤩 and showcasing bonnie Scotland with the amazing footage you’ve captured 👏🏻 I need to do liathach next year 👍🏻

Great video and can't argue, update incoming after Skye and An Teallach maybe. Take care. Mick.

Nice selection 👌 can you recommend some guides? for the Highlands in particular the NW Torridon area, TIA.

The weather is so important for being right up there. Your day on Liatyhach was perfect with enough cloud about for mysteries, but not to much to wipe out the views. Therefore having done them all a number of times I get a slightly less weather biased choice as no Munro has been totally awful weather every time. So it ois hard to beat Torridon or An Teallach or Aonach Eagach or the remoteness and beauty of A' Mhaighdean, or the Cuillin - Sgurr nan Gillean the outstanding one of them. I'd probably pick Gillean even had I not had the second best sunset of my life from the summit.

Great hills 👍, done them all on list and 100% on board with torridon ones, fantastic hills. If you've never been before Arran is well worth it, some classic Corbett's. The sannox horseshoe 😍

A fine selection of summits. I'm not sure I could pick a top 5 - my favourite hill is always the one I'm already on . Liathach is definitely up there though. The folks I saw coming off the bypass path looked traumatised! 😂If you were happy on the Horns of Alligin then you'd enjoy the Am Fasarinen pinnacles.

The clear views make all the difference. I would love to be able to do some of these grade 2 ridge walks but I am not an experienced scrambler and don't have a like minded companion, so I have the problem of how to gain enough experience to be able to do some of these climbs alone. The most exposed route I have done is Crib Goch but I believe Aonach Eagach is on the next level to that.

lovely choice - unlike your earlier videos - I detect a bent towards scrambling. Might I advise getting a cheap lid for anything over grade 1, especially in the Culins (gabbro's very good but there's a lot of crappy basalt that can catch you out) - but it's probably the best concentrated range in Scotland. I wish you well in your further adventures - beautifully done videos, simple and concise.

Scary/exciting stuff

Nice one, look forward to seeing what you think of the cullin. Nice time of year to do them too! You using a guide? Tbh with the ones you've done so far you should be fine but I don't think anyone can honestly say they do these kind of hills without some sense of nervousness.

Cracking video James. Hard to disagree with any of your choices there mate!

Redonkulous stuff I need to get to scotland more you showcased it off perfectly

Good choices for your top five. An Teallach is my fav hill I've walked so far.

Interested in the brand and model of your hiking trousers. They look well up to the task. Thank you.

Amazing video mate. You seemed to have had the best weather ever. What months did you do these in? I did Ben Nevis this year and fell in love with Scotland as I drove from Northampton to Fort William. Definitely going back in 2023 to do a couple of the ones you did. Thanks for sharing 👌🏿

A welcome return to bright Summer days and blue skies. Just about anyone of these climbs could be number one depending on your own personal preference and whether you thrive on the heart stopping moments encountered on the ridges. That said I think you've judged well and wish you well for the Skye outings.

At first I thought, oh no, another boring video of a guy climbing Munros but then I finished it! Well narrated, good footage and appropriate music. I have done 112 Munros but I don't like scrambling, so I'll miss many of those in your video, so it's nice to see them. Favourites: Braeriach, Ben Mcdui, Mount Keen, Stùcd an Lochain and Stob Coire Easain. My least favourites: Ben Nevis and Ben Lomond: too many people in there!

Great video! My 15 yo daughter and I are going to be in Scotland this summer for a few weeks and looking for great hikes without narrow ridges, scary scrambling. I've done Bidean nam Bian in the past (loved it/no issues with exposure) and we are planning to do Suilven. Can you recommend any other hikes in Scotland that would be similar to Bidean and Suilven in that we are looking for the most scenic hikes in Scotland, challenging, but avoiding hikes with narrow ridges and steep scrambling?

The mountains are beautiful and green . The Swiss believe that the Australian mountains are not mountains but are very large hills . So the mountains of the UK must be large hills then . Your hikes in Scotland are pretty though .

I will be in Sky as well last 2 weeks in May 🙃

More videos like these! Did you film Ben Nevis when you went up?

Number 1 views are stunning can see why its your number 1

I'm always climbing in ma Kilt. It's the only way to go anmd allows flexibilty!

North face of Ben Nevis is hard to beat

I will hire a guide for the AE! Some great memories there!

The Bidean Nam Bian massiff. I have climbed it three times using six different routes of approach and return, with each one being as spectacular and exciting as the last.

Top 5 if it was munros then An Teallach, Liathach, A M'Haighdean (for the view), In Pin, Slioch

💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍

"oo-nuch eh-guch"👈

Hi, enjoy all your videos and helpful when going out,but would like to know if you or anyone else could recommend a pair of boots that are genuinely waterproof, thanks,

Liatach amazing views but bloody awful descent. Also did the by pass. Think the first time I’ve been terrified (in parts) on a hill walk.

😄

Why are there so few trees there?

Best Mountain in Scotland isn't a munro it's stob coire nan lochan via western crest . But that's just my thoughts.. Each to there own I suppose

What size is your trousers bud?

What time of year is best?

No An Teallach or Larven?

Depends on the day your there 😂

Get back to work

Lovey filming nice mountains have done a lot of munroes but not interested in keeping count glen Sheil is my favourite place done the south ridge on Saturday including the saddle and the sisters on Sunday man the beer was good in the kintail hotel after that good luck on your quest son I,m now 80 years old and still love Scotland Scenery
