They call the relative pimples in Arrochar in Scotland, the "Arrochar

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 "~)

You have been blamed for the fact there are no mountains here in East
Anglia, rumour has it the Dutch came over and stole them all to fill
in some holes . . .

Those would be the ones the Germans dig every year on the beach :~))

Did you know that they take them home with them too? North German
beaches look like the surface of the moon. I do wish they wouldn't dig
holes in beaches, where there is little or no tide.
