Munros have to be over what now? They(SMC) keep changing requirements.
The SMC have changed from time to time what Top is amended to become classed as a Munro, but the height of a Munro, that is over 914.4m (3000ft) has remained unchanged.

I've never tried Tomatin. Sounds like tomato...
I'm sorry Stratman. I originally hail from the village of Tomatin and I can't have you making fun of it. I'm afraid I'm going to have to disqualify you from the competition. I'm sorry.
Just kidding!
Actually, I've never tried this
particular Tomatin myself, but in the short time it's been available, seemingly it's been selling like hot cakes. So much so that the Tomatin distillery, where my old man just happens to work,
had to rush a further consignment of casks to the bottling plant.

...good luck in your new position.
Thanks. There's no other company I'd rather work for (though I've clearly yet to see how they are in practice).
I'll still be here in Glasgow for anything between 3 and 5 months working for F&N. After that I'll relocate to thier London office (man I hope Sploo doesn't read this
).

What the hell is a metre? My guess is 3773 feet - because I'm an American snob!
No metres, no whisky.
Metres, maybe no whisky.

I think it's the Carn Eige...
Interesting. An entry accompanied with a name. Have you climbed the hill in question? There's a story here I'm sure.

...I don't see a "Robert T. Buckle" on the Scottish Mountaineering Club's Munro Compleatists List...
True, I've not compleated (ye olde spelling
) all 284 Munros, but then, I've no particular desire to do so at present. Instead, I tend to target the most dramatic, photogenic hills. Don't forget that there're Grahams (hills from 2000 to 2500ft in height) and Corbetts (hills from 2500 to 3000ft in height) as well, and some of these are no less demanding than their higher counterparts.
Ticking hills off a list is not what it's all about.
