Can I have a 'P' please Bob - Scotland

Correct. I don't think it is a hill that regular baggers would walk or. even tap dance to.

Wrong probably, but Tintock Tap, Trig Point and Tinto Hill.

Brilliant answer Charles, (and why did I not think of that!) and you can have it whatever, but the TH could be Totherin Hill, on the way up to Tinto.

Brilliant Charles, I'd love to think i right, but hadn't we established one of the first set (TT) was Tower? Have been searching for TTs but can't find any Tolbooth towers on a hill :( :( :( let alone near a trig point. Am obviously looking in the wrong place. By the time I come back from my swim someone will have got it.

Nerd alert!!

Oh no! Some lucky folks have them in their gardens and TP4449 Little Ouse is actually one metre below sea level.

Unfortunately you are wrong although I can see why you went for Tintock Tap but don't forget Sgurr got Tower so the Tap dancing clue fits in a slightly different way.
It does actual feature in WH walks but they don't use the names I use except inthe actual the description of the walk.
NB (and this isn't a clue) in my experience most trig points are in the middle of gorse thickets but this one is on a hill.

Just to recap on what has been solved so far.
T Tower looks down on the trig point and they both look down on T Hill.
Clues
If you were flying from A to B (or anywhere else) you may look down on all 3. This would be shortly after take-off BTW.
I don't think it is a hill that regular baggers would walk or. even tap dance to. i,e, not a Munro, Corbett, Graham, Donald or Sub 2000. I don't know whether it carries one of the more obscure classifications like lump,bump, hump or whatever they are.
... or even wear out the tyres getting there

Finally, I will throw in a free pie.

Somewhere in the above are all the elements needed for the answer but they need to be put together and maybe singular rather than plural.

I am sorry to report that the hill in question is not on your list. Maybe if you thought about where you might fly from in Scotland it would narrow it down a bit.

Thanks, the Aberdeen airport clue helped.

A visit to the DP might or might not appear fruitful.
