List of Furths
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| Class | Prominence |
|---|---|
| 600 m prominences | 600 m + |
| 2,000 foot Marilyns | 150 – 599 m |
| Hewitts | 30 – 149 m |
| Nuttalls | 15 – 29 m |
This is a list of Furths, a "Furth" or "Furth Munro" being a mountain over 3,000 feet high in the British Isles that is furth (i.e. "outside") of Scotland, that would otherwise be classed as a Munro if it were located in Scotland.[1][2][3] Traditionally a mountain only qualifies as a Furth if it has a drop of at least 30 metres (98 feet) on all sides.[4]
The Scottish Mountaineering Club lists a total of 34 Furths in all; 6 in England, 15 in Wales and 13 in Ireland.[5] This compares with the 282 Munros and 227 further "tops" in Scotland.
