History - the Donalds

The Donalds are the Scottish hills over 2000' that are situated in the Lowlands. They were defined by Percy Donald of the Scottish Mountaineering Club back 1935; Donald - who was also the first person to climb all the hills on the list - used a complex formula to determine which peaks had enough prominence to be regarded as separate Donalds, and which were regarded as Donald Tops.

In 2018 the Scottish Mountaineering Club announced that to complete their 'Full House' (Munros, Corbetts, Fionas and Donalds) in the future you also need to have climbed the Donald Tops. On Walkhighlands Donald Tops are turned off by default but you can click the checkbox on this page to enable them.
