There are a total of 282 Munros in Scotland and bagging them all is a huge challenge – equivalent to climbing Mount Everest 14 times – completed by only the most dedicated walkers and climbers.
It’s thought that less than 7,000 so-called 'compleatists', or Munroists, have finished the epic challenge to date, making it a fairly exclusive club.
Many of the peaks can be scaled by anybody with a reasonable level of fitness, but some are more challenging prospects suitable only for those with experience and a head for heights.
Here are the 10 Munros that are the most difficult to tick off your list.
Before you set out on any expedition make sure you are aware of the latest advice from Scottish Mountain Rescue and plan accordingly.

Negotiating Aonach Eagach, the trickiest peak around Glen Coe, requires Munro baggers to tackle what's reputed to be mainland Britain's narrowest ridge, including some potentially-scary scrambles. Photo: Canva/Getty Images
6. Sgurr Alasdair
Another huge challenge on Syke's Cuillin Ridge, Sgurr Alasdair is the highest peak on the Black Cuillin and requires some potentially perilous scrambling to reach the summit. Photo: Canva/Getty Images
7. Mullach na Dheiragain
Another peak that's challenging due to its location rather than height, Mullach na Dheiragain is one of the least climbed Munros due to its remoteness. A boat trip along Loch Mullardoch (pictured), followed by a steep trek is one option to get there. Photo: Canva/Getty Images
8. Beinn Dorain
Relatively innocuous on a clear day, Beinn Dorain is challenging due to the thick mist that often clings to its summit, confusingly located a few hundred feet from a foolishly-.located large cairn. Many of those who think they have climbed it, actually haven't. Photo: Canva/Getty Images
