Munros
Scottish Munro Mountains - The Munros are the highest of Scotland's mountains, 282 mountain tops named after the man who first catalogued them, Sir Hugh Munro.

Marilyns
Hills & Mountains of any height with a drop of at least 150 metres on all sides.
The geographical area includes the Isle of Man and the islands of St Kilda. (N.B. twin peak marilyns are not included here)
Corbetts
Corbetts - Scottish hills between 2500 and 2999 feet high with a drop of at least 500 feet (152.4m) on all sides. (making them a sub-set of the Marilyns too)
Trail 100
Trail's Top 100 Hills; a list of 100 hills published in Trail Magazine in 2007 which has become popularised by becoming the objective of the WaterAid Trail 100 charity challenge.
Archies
The Archies are all the mountains of Scotland with a summit of 1000m or more also having a 100m height drop between the top and the surrounding land.
HuMPs
Hills of any height with a drop of at least 100 metres or more on all sides. The name HuMP stands for Hundred Metre Prominence. (All Marilyns are HuMPs) The original source for the HuMPs list was Dr Eric Yeaman's "Handbook of the Scottish Hills", published by Wafaida in 1989. Clem Clements applied Yeaman's original criteria to England and Wales, and christened the results "Yeomans".
Grahams
Graham Mountains: - A Graham is a hill from 610 metres to 761 metres high inclusive (2000-2499 feet), with a drop of at least 150 metres all round. Originally, Scottish hills in this height range were referred to as Elsies (short for Lesser Corbetts).
Donalds
Hills in the Scottish Lowlands at least 2000 feet high. 'Tops' are all elevations with a drop of at least 100 feet (30.48m) on all sides and elevations of sufficient topographical merit with a drop of between 50 and 100 feet. Certain of these are designated 'Hills' according to a complex formula based on both distance and drop.
Munro Tops
Scottish 'Tops': - Munro Tops are subsidiary summits to Munros which although meeting the height criterion for a Munro are not deemed to be separate to be distinct Munros.
P30 TUMPs
TUMPs or P30s are hills of any height with a drop of at least 30 metres or more on all sides. The name TUMP stands for Thirty & Upward Metres Prominence.
Historic County tops
The highest point within (or sometimes on) the boundary of each county. Based on the traditional list of counties from which people usually take their local cultural identity. Note that these were never abolished, they just ceased to have administrative function.
Yeamans
The hills listed by Dr Eric Yeaman in his Handbook of the Scottish Hills (Wafaida, 1989). There were 2441 hills in the original book, the first ever publication known to prioritise relative over absolute height in its selection:
"For the purposes of this Handbook, a hill is defined as an eminence which has an ascent of 100m all round, or, failing that, is at least 5km (walking distance) from any higher point".
The Yeamans were the precursor of the HuMPs in Scotland, often referred to as 'New Yeamans' in the early stages, but 167 other hills were included by virtue of the 5km distance rule.
Yeaman later circulated an update sheet with copies of his book, in which he identified 65 additional hills, 11 deletions and 6 substitutions, one of which was subsequently reversed. Additions are included here alongside the complete original list.
Marilyn Munros
The most significant Munros which also have Marilyn status of 150m seperation
Donald Tops
'Tops' relating to Donald Hills
Current County and Unitary Authority tops
The highest point within (or sometimes on) the boundary of each county. Based on the list of Counties, Metropolitan Districts and Unitary Authorities that came into existence in the 1990s, and are still changing.

Administrative County tops
The highest point within (or sometimes on) the boundary of each county. Based on the redrawn administrative boundaries and introduction of Metropolitan Counties in the mid 1970s. These began to be abolished in the 1990s.

Sub-TuMPs
SubTumps - hills in Britain & Ireland with 20m-29.9m prominence irrespective of height.

Dochartys
A Selection of some 900 British and Irish Mountain Tops (Part I Lists A & B total of 960) and a Selection of 1,000 Tops under 2,500 feet (Part II List C total of 1,022) by William McKnight Docharty 1954 and 1962.
The lists are defined by the original publications and is not subject to revision.
Each of the four constituents of the British Isles are included: Scotland 1,395 summits, Ireland 243, Wales 153 and England 191, totalling 1,982. (two summits in the Isle of Man included within England’s numbers).

Sub-Dochartys
Sub Docharty - Docharty's objective was to list all points on the 1 inch O.S. Maps with a minimum requirement for a 'Top' being one 50-foot contour, for Ireland the minimum was one 100-foot contour. However Docharty decided that some of the heights marked on the map, which on being visited did not appear to have sufficient individuality to qualify as 'Tops' so these were included under a Remarks column in respect of Scotland and Ireland and a fifth column in respect of Wales and England for Part 1 and under a Remarks column for Part 2. None of these added through to Docharty’s Summary Tables.
Also included within subs are 'tops' or eminences unrecorded on the maps but identified by Docharty while on excursion.
The lists are defined by the original publications and is not subject to revision.
Each of the four constituents of the British Isles are included: Scotland 533 summits, Ireland 25, Wales 41 and England 89, totalling 688.

Supersummits
Hills over 300m, and at least 15km from the nearest higher ground. The Supersummits are from an article 'Backyard Everests' by Bernard Beal, published in The Great Outdoors (May 1997 issue of TGO). Hensbarrow Beacon has been supplanted by the adjacent landscaped spoil mound, and Beacon Hill is named Trelleck Hill on Beal's original list.
The Separate Mountains
A summit needs to be over 600m height and have 90, 100, 120 or 150m of drop to qualify, depending on how dissected an area is. Dissectedness is calculated by counting the number of segments each hill group is split into by the 400m contour and dividing this by the number of 10km grid squares it covers. The list was originally compiled in 1974 from OS 1 inch maps, metricated from 1976-82 as second series metric maps came out, then adjusted in 2023 using data from the DoBIH.
