As we all know, a Munro is 3000 feet, or 914.4m but Beinn a&rsquo;Chlaidheimh is apparently 913.96m. just short of Munro height. It thus raises the interesting question of what happens in winter? The hill will undoubtedly return to the Munro club as up to a foot of snow settles on its summit, to melt in the spring when it becomes a Corbett. What a ridiculous state of affairs.</p>
