Guide to author’s favourite hills under 2,000 feet, on the Scottish islands, including some that are rarely climbed, some that are well-known and iconic, and all of which offer a distinctive hillwalking experience. These are all hills with great character, they have attitude rather than altitude.
The Hughs are a new category of Scottish hills. All under 2,000ft, they are hills with attitude, not altitude. So what exactly is ‘attitude’? The three key words are: prominence · position · panorama.


Island hills possess a charm and romanticism which is hard to resist and sets them apart from their mainland cousins. The combination and juxtaposition of mountain, sea and sky so notably manifest on islands such as Arran, Jura, Mull, Rum and Skye, can be as addictive and headily intoxicating as any malt whisky, capturing and enrapturing, often for life.




MUNRO at least 3,000ft high

CORBETT 2,500–3,000ft high with a prominence of at least 500ft

GRAHAM 2,000–2,499ft high with a drop of at least 150 metres

HUGH (Hill Under Graham Height): under 2,000ft with

exceptional character




The Hughs offer breathtaking climbs and views, with some already popular and others waiting to be discovered. Each hill has unique character. This diverse range of hills invites all ages to explore, chosen for their charm rather than mere height.

Andrew Dempster has almost 40 years’ experience of walking, scrambling and backpacking in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. He has climbed all the Munros twice and the Corbetts, and wrote the only guidebook to the Grahams (mountains 2,000–2,500 feet in height). He has also walked, trekked and climbed extensively in such varied locations as the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Himalaya, Africa, Iceland and Greenland. The Highlands of Scotland are his first love, however, and he lives in rural Perthshire with his wife, Heather and son, Ruaraidh.
