Scotland is the most mountainous country in the United Kingdom. Scotland's mountain ranges can be divided in a roughly north to south direction into: the Scottish Highlands, the Central Belt and the Southern Uplands, the latter two primarily belonging to the Scottish Lowlands. The highlands eponymously contains the country's main mountain ranges, but hills and mountains are to be found south of these as well. The below lists are not exhaustive; there are countless subranges throughout the country.
Ben Nevis (Beinn Nibheis), the highest mountain in Scotland and the United Kingdom[1] at 4,413 feet (1,345 m), is in the Highland region at the western end of the Grampian Mountains. A Scottish mountain over 3,000 feet (910 m) is referred to as a Munro, of which there are 282.
As of 2019, hundreds of thousands of people visit mountains in Scotland every winter[2] and 130,000 climb to the summit of Ben Nevis every year.[1]
