Possibly the first ever prominence-based hill challenge. Includes all peaks in Scotland between 2,500 and 2,999 ft high with at least 500 ft prominence. Originally compiled by J. Rooke Corbett in the 1920s and published after his death in the 1950s by the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) and still maintained by them. Maintained on peakery by member Mark Trengove using data obtained from the Database of British and Irish Hills.

"From the car park north of the Megget Stone at NT 14338 20081. Followed a path up from the Megget Stone to a gate in the deer fence at NT 14423 21439. Then followed deer fence north, with summit accessed by another gate in the deer fence. After return to main ridge, took the path up to the summit of Broad Law. On descent, veered SSE past Porridge Cairn and to the top of Wylies Hill. A steep descent by sheep-tracks brought us to the road, then following it west back to the cars. With AT and JT. 13.0km, with 600m of ascent." — marktrengove2 • Jun 24, 2023

Bike&hike day trip traverse of Corbett Ben Dronaig. Switched to foot at the old stone bridge then traversed the hill up the west ridge, over and down to the south end of Loch Calavie. Dipped in a waterfall and pit stopped in the excellent Ben Dronaig bothy on the trek back to my bike." — davidb • Aug 22, 2022
"Solo. From the car park at Kinlochhourn to the lodge and up the track through the woods and along the pylons. Followed stalkers' path which goes a long way up Buidhe Bheinn West Top, then easily to the summit. A little bit of scrambling down the ridge towards the main top, then easily up to the main top. Returned down Coire Lair and the rather wet track to Loch Coire Shùbh. Beautiful Summer day with excellent visibility. By this ascent I have completed the ascents of all the Corbetts on the current list. When I originally completed the Corbetts, Sgurr a' Bhac Chaolais and what is now called Buidhe Bheinn West Top were jointly the Corbett." — peter43 • Aug 12, 2022
"Fine day 4h10 clockwise Corbett circuit from the Killilan walkers car park. I’d planned to include Ben Killilan but found my legs were made of lead! The little visited North Top is a fine view point. No GPX track coz Outdooractive app wouldn’t open offline; bring back viewranger!!" — davidb • Jul 21, 2022
"From the A 547 near Drumglas, using a stalker's track and path northwards, leaving it to climb up onto the south ridge, and hence to the summit. Return by outward route. Solo. Sunshine at first, but cloud streaming in later on a very strong westerly wind." — marktrengove2 • Jul 17, 2021
