Bagging a Munro gets easier as volunteers fund repairs to mountain paths

Scottish Highlands campaign has raised two-thirds of 300,000 target for footpaths on An Teallach. But more is needed to protect people and environment

One of Scotland's most impressive and recognisable mountains will have its walking paths restored after hillwalkers and charities clubbed together to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Mountaineering Scotland and the Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland (Oats) launched a campaign last May to raise 300,000 for essential path repairs on An Teallach in Wester Ross, in the north-west Highlands, asking walkers and climbers to give the hill a few quid". The It's Up to Us campaign has announced that 218,000 has already been donated.
