Most Munro baggers crack open the champagne or enjoy a wee dram when they reach the summit.
But Kerry Blue terrier Betty – one of the fastest dogs to conquer all 282 Scottish mountains over 3000ft – prefers a hard boiled egg. For owner and hiking companion Shona Marshall, 58, that has meant providing a constant supply of healthy treats for her pet.
The pair climbed 546 Scottish peaks in less than two years – an average of 24 a month – as well as every mountain over 3000ft in England and Wales. Shona said it was “humbling” to witness the trust Betty put in her as they scrambled up the rocky slopes.
