Quite the achievement!
In a way it is to bad they keep or publicize the youngest record. At some point a "well intentioned " parent will cross the line into child abuse in order to beat the record.

One also needs to consider that kids' bones and joints haven't reached their final, mature forms at those ages and are fairly "plastic". As such there is a very real possibility of causing permanent and damaging distortions to their feet especially but also the entire lower limb. Seems like an amazing kid. I plan on bagging the Munros before I kick the bucket. |

Wow, but "tens of thousands of miles"? Is Scotland that big?

From the map you provided those mountains look pretty dense. There is a nice spread. I will have to look at the map more closely, I hope it is interactive.
