Munro

Mountains in Scotland with a height of over 914 m / 3 000 ft bear a special name, the Munros. They are named after Sir Hugh Munro, the 4th Baronet (1856–1919), who produced the first list of such hills, known as Munro’s Tables, in 1891.

About

Buachaille Etive Beag (, Scottish Gaelic: Buachaille Èite Beag, 'little herdsman of Etive') is a mountain between Glen Coe and Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies west of Buachaille Etive Mòr, its larger neighbour, from which it is separated by a high mountain pass called Lairig Gartain.

Like its neighbour, Buachaille Etive Beag is a ridge about 3 km long that runs in a southwest–northeast direction. It has two peaks of Munro status: Stob Dubh (958 m) at the southern end, and Stob Coire Raineach (925 m) in the middle. The latter became a Munro in the 1997 revision of Munro's Tables, in which all tops with a topographic prominence of more than 500 feet (150 m) were promoted to full Munro status. The smaller peak at the northern end is Stob nan Cabar.

There's a trail leading to the summit.
