There is no single 'relative height' value that can be given for a hill, since every hill has a multitude of 'relative heights'. If you want to know the amount of ascent involved in walking up a particular hill, then that all depends on where you start from and which route you take. On the Walkhighlands page for a given hill the altitude above sea-level of the summit is shown, then if you click on 'Detailed route description and map' you'll see the amount of cumulative ascent for the particular route described (which may include the ascents of other hills as well). You can also plot your own route on the digital 'our route' map which is available in the 'new walk report' (or blog entry) section, and that will show a reading for the cumulative ascent of your plotted route (as well as one for the distance).
