Just as a point on interest the minister here, Archibald Eneas Robertson, was the first man to 'bag' all the Munros.

I can't answer that for sure but I don't think so. I picked up quite a comprehensive leaflet on Rev. Robertsonfrom the church and there was no mention of that information/connection.
