SCOTLAND. 2012. A87 looking east towards Glamaig, Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides. Glamaig is the northernmost of the Red Hills of Skye, and one of the island’s only two Corbetts (peaks 2,500-3,000ft high, with at least 500ft of descent; so named after John Rooke Corbett, the climber who identified them). In 1899, a Gurkha named Harkabir Tharpa famously scaled the mountain in 37 minutes, making the whole round trip — starting and finishing in the bar of the nearby Sligachan Inn — in 55 minutes. Reports say that he was barefoot the whole way and barely out of breath upon completion.
