They call the relative pimples in Arrochar in Scotland, the "Arrochar
Alps" :-)

there are alps just outside Ulverston which barely warrant being called
hills!
I suspect it derives from the meaning "hill pasture" or 'mountain
pasture'

Ha - here in Holland our tallest mountain is 110metres above sea level.
They supply oxygen masks for climbers "~)

I believe that the Dutch can suffer from vertigo as they stand on the kerb
looking down onto the road surface ;-))

I confess that I'm not so low living as your good self. our highest point is
31m, but seeing as how I live in Cumbria where everyone assumes you live
half way up a mountain, it is something of an embarassment!
