As of June 2019, this is the list of the 282 Munros, recognised by the Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") and The Munro Society. [1] The Munros are listed by "Section" per the Munro's Tables, [2] and in descending order of height within each section. Hills are divided by sub-region, and hills with less than 200 m (656 ft) relative height (or prominence) are indented. The term Real Munro is used for hills with a prominence above 150 m (492 ft), which is the threshold for a Marilyn. For a single table of all 282 Munros, or all 226 Munro Tops, ranked by height and by prominence, see the "List of Munro mountains in Scotland".
