- This article is about the Scottish geographical feature. For other uses, see Graham (disambiguation).
A Graham is a hill in Scotland with a height between 2000 and 2500 feet (609.6–762 m) with a relative height of at least 500 feet (152.4 m). The Grahams are a subset of the Marilyns. Grahams in the Scottish lowlands are also classified as Donalds. There are 224 Grahams in total.
The Grahams were named in memory of Fiona Torbett (née Graham) who created a list of 2000-foot hills in the Highlands. However the list used is the Marilyns within the specified height range and covers the whole of Scotland.
Famous Grahams
Due to their inferior height the Grahams are often regarded as a poor relation to Corbetts and Munros. However a few are well formed and stick out from the crowd.
- The Storr (719m) part of the Trotternish Peninsula the north of the Isle of Skye.
- Suilven (731m) sticks up dramatically from the countryside around it in Sutherland (one of the most remote parts of Britain).
- Stac Pollaidh (613 metres) is an unusual small hill with fantastic views out to sea in the county of Sutherland.
