Notes

fnb|1 Corra-bheinn and Cruachan Dearg both have a height of 704 m and are separated by a drop of 130 m. They are collectively separated from Beinn Talaidh (their parent) by a 316 m drop making one of them a Marilyn and a Graham. However, without more accurate heights, it is impossible to say which is the Marilyn, making them an example of a "twin peak". By convention, Corra-bheinn is considered to by the Marilyn and Graham because it is the peak with the trig point.

fnb|2 Beinn Bhragair has been discovered to be a Marilyn since the publication of "The Relative Hills of Britain" and is therefore not listed in the book.
