Climbing Gallery

The pics you see here have been accumulated over many years of walking and climbing Scotland's mountains. I am a self-confessed 'Munro Bagger' and for those who don't know the Munros are mountains 3000+ft. There are 284 Munros in Scotland and a 'Munro Bagger' aims to climb all of them. There are also lots of smaller peaks which can give you a fantastic day out, if you don't feel up to tackling the Munros.

I love to combine my passion for climbing mountains with my passion for photography. I hope these images give you a flavour of day out on Scotland's peaks!
