-- Graham Tops and Grahamists --

Completing the TACit Tables listing of British Isles summits above 610m (2000ft) and with at least 30m drop on all sides, this eagerly awaited booklet features the 999 summits in the 761m (2499ft) to 610m Graham Top category. The list is subdivided into 224 Grahams such as Ben Stack, 206 Graham Tops of Grahams (eg the trig point on top of Ben Venue), 375 Graham Tops of Corbetts (eg Mainnir nam Fiadh on Mull), 193 Graham Tops of Munros (eg Gearr Aonach in Glen Coe) and just the one - Windy Gyle - Graham Top of a Hewitt. The summits range from the fairly familiar - A'Chir, Hallival, Parlan Hill, Beinn Edra - to the utterly unfrequented. So if you fancy a stroll over Carabad or Crungie Clach, Bodnasparet or Big Garvoun, Manywee or Gob a'Chairn, then this is the booklet for you. And if you've ever woken up worrying about the whereabouts of The Ca or Sgurr a'Gharg Gharaidh Far North Top, then turn to this list and fret no more.

Complementing the main hill data compiled by Alan Dawson, Clem Clements and James Gordon are details of near-miss summits that don't quite make it (but which might come the next remapping), a list of known Grahamists, and some historical background.

Acknowledgements

Particular thanks are due to David Purchase for numerous helpful comments on a draft version of this booklet. Thanks are also due to Hugh Barron of the British Geological Survey for consulting OS 1:10000 digital data, and to Jean Dalton at the Ordnance Survey for taking the trouble to try to find answers to some awkward questions.

The series editor would like to thank Ian Angell for his continuing good stewardship of the Scottish Mountaineering Club library in Glasgow, where various pieces of research, particularly relating to the work of William McKnight Docharty, have been pursued. The Glasgow University map library has been much used, as has the manuscript section of the National Library of Scotland in respect of general research in the SMC archive (lodged there and maintained by Robin N Campbell) and in regard to Docharty's hill diaries.

Thanks also to the various Grahamists (see page 40) who took the trouble to rummage through hill logs and supply their first and last hill details. Also to Jill Dodgson and Harry Griffin for information on the late Colin Dodgson, and to Anne Littlejohn for helping to clarify her own completion status. And thanks, once again, to Tommy Kayes and all at Clydeside Press. Apologies to anyone else who provided help, information or encouragement but who is omitted here.

"I should like to record once more the pleasure and satisfaction these maps provided in the winter evenings, as they welcomed me in spirit to the freedom of the ridges which they delineate so faithfully. Then, no less than when they piloted me over the ground on excursion, did they prove themselves to be among the closest and friendliest of companions."

About TACit Tables

TACit Tables aim to provide walkers with definitive, highly accurate, easily affordable, up-to-date lists of British and Irish hills. An important feature of this series of booklets is that the height of each hill is given in both absolute and relative terms: as well as the height above sea level, the lists show the drop from each hill, ie the amount the hill rises above the surrounding land.

The tables provide precise measurements of the location and significance of the summits, but convey nothing about distance, topography, terrain or other characteristics of the hills. Maps provide much of this detail, and the tables are intended to be used alongside a map. No attempt is made to suggest routes or starting points for walks.

Details of all current titles in the TACit Tables series are given on the inside back cover.

About the Grahams

A Graham is a Scottish hill from 610 metres to 761 metres high inclusive (2000-2499 feet), with a drop of at least 150 metres all round (492 feet). The list of hills with this definition was first published in April 1992 in The Relative Hills of Britain¹, which lists all the British Marilyns, ie hills of any height with a drop of at least 150 metres all round. Originally, Scottish hills in this height range were referred to as Lesser Corbetts (abbreviated to LCs or Elsies). This subset of the Marilyns was renamed Grahams in memory of the late Fiona Torbet (née Graham) who published her own list of Scottish hills between 2000 and 2500 feet in The Great Outdoors magazine in November 1992. Torbet's list had no precise definition; 54 of its 244 hills had a drop of less than 150 metres, and 16 had less than 100 metres drop. Interesting though this list is, there were also numerous inaccuracies, and 34 current Grahams were omitted altogether. Torbet had been unaware of the existing list but soon realised it was more accurate and complete than her own. She therefore agreed to accept the relevant Scottish Marilyns as the definitive list of such hills, provided the name Grahams was used for them and some minor changes were made.

The 224 current Grahams therefore comprise the 222 such hills listed in The Relative Hills of Britain plus Beinn Talaidh² and Ladylea Hill³. The majority of Grahams (199) are on the Scottish mainland, with the remaining 25 distributed among seven islands; ten on Skye, seven on Mull, three on Harris, two on Jura, and one each on Arran, Rum and South Uist.

About the Graham Tops

A Graham Top is a Scottish hill between 610 metres and 761 metres high inclusive (2000-2499 feet) with a drop of at least 30 metres all round (98.4 feet). The Graham Tops therefore include all the Grahams, just as the Munro Tops include all the Munros, and Corbett Tops include all the Corbetts. However, the term 'Munro Tops' is usually taken to mean 'Munro Tops that are not Munros', and similar usage will probably come to be applied to the Graham Tops.

Now that the list of Corbett Tops⁴ has been published, the Graham Tops complete the set of Scottish hills over 2000 feet, and indeed the set of all hills in the British Isles over 2000 feet with 30m drop. The total of 2638 such hills comprises 2111 in Scotland, 177 in England, 136 in Wales, one on the border of England and Wales, 19 in Northern Ireland, 193 in the Republic of Ireland, and one in the Isle of Man.

Although this publication provides the first list of Graham Tops to be readily available, it is not the first list of 2000-foot Scottish hills to go beyond the Grahams:

In 1935 Percy Donald produced a list of hills over 2000 feet in the Scottish Lowlands. This list used a complicated formula for determining separate hills, but defined tops more simply as all elevations with a drop of 100 feet (30.48m) on all sides, as well as hills of sufficient topographical merit with a drop of 50-100 feet on all sides. This list was updated and published as the New Donalds by TACit Press in 1995 (with a second edition in 1999)⁵. By definition the Graham Tops listed in Sections 26, 27 and 28 are the same as the New Donalds.
In 1954 William McKnight Docharty (a 1948 Munroist and 1960 Corbetteer) privately published A Selection of Some 900 British and Irish Mountain Tops, which, together with its supplements published in 1962, included many of the Graham Tops and almost all the Grahams. In the total of 679 summits listed in this height range, the only Grahams omitted were Biod an Fhithich, Ben Aslak, Corwharn, Creag Dhubh Mor and Ladylea Hill. Docharty's books are far more than lists, as the three volumes contain numerous illustrations, personal anecdotes and descriptions of the hills.
In the early 1980s Dane Love compiled a list of 2322 British summits with 100 feet of reascent on all sides, which included most of the Graham Tops. This work was never published, although, like Docharty's, it was extended to include substantial additional information about the hills.
In 1989 Eric Yeaman produced his Handbook of the Scottish Hills, which listed all Scottish hills with 100m drop, plus other hills 5km from any higher summit.
In 1997 John Kirk finished compiling 'The Big Mountain List' of 'all 4538 mountains, hills, lumps and bumps' over 500m high with 20m drop, covering the mainland and islands of Britain (3605 summits in Scotland). This massive unpublished work included almost all of the Graham Tops. The five manuscript volumes of Kirk's tables, including various regional listings, run to over 350 A4 pages.

The list of Tops published in this TACit Table was compiled independently, without reference to any previous work. Much of the initial research was carried out by James Gordon and Clem Clements, who provided lists of summits based on Ordnance Survey 1:50000 and 1:25000 maps. All these summits were then checked against 1:10000 maps (where available), which provided additional and more precise figures for heights and cols in numerous cases. The extra detail shown at this scale also enabled several further tops to be located, which were not apparent from study of smaller-scale maps.

About the List

The total of 998 Graham Tops comprises five classes of hill between 2000 and 2499 feet high:

Class	Total	Drop	Description
G	224	<150m	Grahams
GTM	193	30-150m	Graham Tops of Munros, ie Tops connected to a Munro
GTC	374	30-150m	Graham Tops of Corbetts, ie Tops connected to a Corbett
GTG	206	30-150m	Graham Tops of Grahams, ie Tops connected to a Graham
GTH	1	30-150m	Graham Tops of Hewitts, ie Tops connected to a Hewitt (in England)

The different classes are indicated in the tables by the code G, GTM, GTC or GTG in the first column of each entry. Those Tops located between two higher hills are judged to be connected to whichever hill has a higher intervening col, regardless of distance or appearance.

The layout of the tables also highlights the broader distinction between Grahams and Tops, as the names of Tops are indented beneath the name of the relevant Graham, Corbett or Munro. Full details are given of all Grahams, but for Munros and Corbetts only the name is listed (in italics).

Within each section, GTMs are shown first, then GTCs, then Grahams and GTGs. Tops belonging to the same hill are listed in order of relative height (drop), so that more prominent summits are shown first. Information is laid out in the following columns:

Class

This is either G, GTM, GTC or GTG as defined above, making it easy to identify at a glance the four different categories of Graham Top.

Section

Hills are grouped into the geographical regions shown below, with each region subdivided into sections. Region and section numbers are the same as in Corbett Tops and Corbetteers and originally derive from The Relative Hills of Britain.

Regions of Scotland

Metres

This column gives the height of the hill above sea level in metres. This is usually taken from the largest-scale metric map of the area published by the Ordnance Survey, which may be at 1:10000 or 1:25000. Spot heights on 1:50000 maps are not generally as accurate as those on larger-scale maps, though some heights are updated as new editions are published. Where differing heights for the same point are given on different maps, the following order of precedence is generally used: 1:10000; 1:25000; 1:50000. The letter c before the height figure means it is taken from a contour ring, as no spot height is given on any map.

Name

Where possible, names are taken from the relevant 1:50000 map. If a hill is not named on this then the name is taken from a larger-scale map. Where no name is given on any map, an appropriate descriptive name is assigned. Such names take one of two forms, based on either the position or the height of the summit, eg Creag Each West Top, or Creag Ruadh point 619m. Care has been taken to ensure that such names do not coincide or conflict with assigned names of Corbett or Munro Tops.

MapLR

This column gives the number(s) of the Ordnance Survey 1:50000 Landranger map(s) on which the summit of the hill is located.

MapE

This column gives the number(s) of the Ordnance Survey 1:25000 Explorer map(s) on which the summit of the hill is located.

Grid Reference

The grid reference pinpoints the location of the summit of the hill to within 100 metres. All grid references have been checked for accuracy on 1:10000 maps, or on 1:25000 maps where no 1:10000 map is available.

Drop

This column refers to the relative height of the hill. It shows the height difference in metres between the summit and the col connecting the hill to the next higher summit. For example, the drop from Ben Venue is given as 545, which means that anyone on the top of Ben Venue would have to descend for a minimum of 545 metres before being able to reach a higher summit.

The drop figures offer an indication of how much descent and reascent is likely to be involved in climbing two or more hills together, but the figures always refer to the minimum possible descent - if the terrain is uneven or there are intervening minor summits then the actual descent on the ground will be greater. A map or knowledge of the route is required for this level of detail. The letter c before the drop figure means there is no spot height for the connecting col shown on any metric map, so the drop is estimated from the position of contour lines. It is likely to be accurate to within two or three metres.

Date

This column is left blank for entering the date of ascent - a better aid to memory than a simple tick.

Notes

The Relative Hills of Britain, by Alan Dawson (Cicerone Press, April 1992). Referred to below as RHB.
Beinn Talaidh: The 763m height given in RHB was taken from a spot height shown on some Ordnance Survey maps, but this point has no 760m contour and probably refers to a long-gone cairn. The 761m triangulation pillar is therefore the highest point, making Beinn Talaidh a Graham not a Corbett.
Ladylea Hill: Height given as 609m in RHB but subsequent remapping indicates 610m. It is therefore the Graham least likely to have been climbed by anyone tackling the 2000-foot hills before 1995.
See Corbett Tops and Corbetteers, by Alan Dawson and Dave Hewitt (TACit Press, 1999).
See The Grahams and the New Donalds, by Alan Dawson and Dave Hewitt (TACit Press, 1999).
Tir Eilde: Listed as Meall Dun Dhomhnuill by Yeaman.
Shee of Ardtalnaig: Name given as Ciste Buide a'Claidheimh in RHB. This summit name is very prominent on the 1:25000 map, but Shee of Ardtalnaig is the more general hill name.
Meall Buidhe: The more prominently named Beinn Leabhainn 500 metres to the north has a bigger area above 650m and was listed by Docharty, but Meall Buidhe is higher.
Creag Each: Name not shown on Landranger map. Listed as Sron Mhor by Docharty.
Meall nan Caorach, Meall Reamhar: The two closest Grahams; their summits are less than 1km apart. The next closest pair, Ben Mor Coigach and Sgurr an Fhidhleir, are about 1.2km apart.
Ben Our: LR51 and LR57 indicate a 733m summit spot height, but larger scale maps show a 740m contour ring.
Beinn Dearg: There are two tops of similar height about 1.5km apart, at either end of a long undulating ridge. Large scale maps give 706m for the eastern top, 705m for western (NN685190). Docharty listed the western top as the summit, naming it Forest of Glenartney.
Sron na Maoile: Also 618m at NN690177.
Mor Bheinn: The only Graham to appear on three Landranger maps. Though quite steep and heathery, the terrain is not as rocky as these maps suggest.
The Stob: The name Meall na Frean applies to the 751m point at NN491230.
Ben Venue: The highest point is about 300 metres NW of the triangulation pillar, which is on a separate top 2m lower.
Beinn Chochan: Listed as Beinn Bhreac by Yeaman.
Meall nan Gabhar: The summit has two tops of similar height about 200 metres apart. The 743m given in RHB is taken from the 1:25000 map and applies to the larger 740m contour ring (NN235242), whereas the 1:10000 map gives 744m for the more southerly top (NN235240). The summit of Meall nan Tighearn 600 metres further south looks equally prominent but is 5m lower.
Doune Hill: Highest point of the Luss hills.
Mid Hill: Name given as Mid Hill in RHB but as Beinn Dubh in GND2. Although the whole mountain is often referred to as Beinn Dubh, this is probably because the lower east top (Beinn Dubh) is more prominent than the main summit (Mid Hill) from Glen Luss.
Creag Chean: Also 654m at NN795531.
