Page "Munro" Paragraph 6

The Scottish Mountaineering Club have carried out a number of revisions of the tables, both in response to new height data on Ordnance Survey maps and to address the perceived inconsistency as to which peaks qualify for Munro status.

In 1992, the publication of Alan Dawson's book Relative hills of Britain, showed that three tops not already considered summits, had a prominence of more than.

Given this they would have qualified as Corbett summits had they been under 3, 000 feet.

In the 1997 tables these three tops, on Beinn Alligin, Beinn Eighe and Buachaille Etive Beag, gained full Munro summit status.

Dawson's book also highlighted a number of significant tops with as much as of prominence which were not listed as Munro subsidiary tops.

The 1997 tables promoted five of these to full Munro status.
