The Furths

This is a list of Furths, a "Furth" or "Furth Munro" being a mountain or top over 3,000 feet (914.4 m) high in the British Isles that is furth of (i.e. "outside") Scotland, that would otherwise be classed as a Munro or Munro Top if it were located in Scotland. Traditionally a mountain only qualifies as a Furth if it has a drop of at least 30 metres (98 feet) on all sides.

 

The Scottish Mountaineering Club lists a total of 34 Furths in all; 6 in England, 15 in Wales and 13 in Ireland (none in Northern Ireland).
