The regions, with their names and numbering are taken
from The Relative Hills of Britain by Alan Dawson.

The Marilyns

A Marilyn is "a hill of any height with a drop of 150 metres (nearly 500 ft) or more on all sides".  So it is a hill which is relatively high compared to its surroundings.

A sub-Marilyn is a hill which just fails (by up to 10m) to qualify on the drop rule, i.e. drop of 140m to 149m on all sides.

The Marilyns are so-called by the list's compiler, Alan Dawson, after the more famous mountain list - the Munros.  The full list of Marilyns includes Scotland.

(Marilyns appear as Type=M on this website).
