about Donalds?
A Graham

a drop of at least 500 feet all round. There are 224 Grahams to be found in
Scotland.

A Munro
is one of the famous Scottish mountains over 3000 feet in height. There
are 284 Munros in Scotland! Please note that more than once the Munro tables
have been revised. In other words, the classification of a mountain as a
Munro has been a matter of discussion over the years.

in Scotland, but there is only one TRI in the world.
