The Call of the Corbetts

<p>The challenge to any landscape photographer is to successfully capture the grandeur of a mountain's form, or to portray the pleasure afforded to those who seek out the crowning cairns. This superb book, a fitting successor to the same author's The Magic of the Munros (shortlisted for the BA Illustrated Book of the Year) brings to life the Scottish Corbetts, those mountains attaining 2500-3000ft.</p>

In 1891 Hugh Thomas Munro published his tables of the Scottish 3,000-foot peaks, and ever since the Reverend A.E. Robertson became the first Munroist (by completing the first ascent of all the mountains listed) there has been an accelerating number of mountaineers seeking to follow in his footsteps. The listing was updated in 1997, to make a total of 284 mountains, and in this stunning book Irvine Butterfield has selected the most evocative photographs to reveal the individual character of each one, with supporting information such as vital statistics. All the photographers' work shown here captures that illusive quality which, simply put, is 'the magic of the Munros.'

The Magic of the Munros

Irvine Butterfield has drawn together a breathtaking collection of photographs, capturing the essence of these mountains to create a wonderful record of every Corbett in Scotland. The broad geographical spread of the Corbetts takes the hillwalker into some of the finest and most remote scenery in Scotland, such as the Isles of Harris, Rum and Jura, the wilderness of Ardgour and the broad slopes above Moffat in the borders. Butterfield gives a lively and fascinating description of each Corbett, identifying the key features for the walker. The superb photographs come from many of the UK's top mountain and landscape photographers, with stunning introductory artworks by Paul Craven.
