Notes
fnb|1 Sgurr a' Bhac Chaolais and Buidhe Bheinn both have a height of 885 m and are separated by a drop of 122 m. They are collectively separated from Creag nan Damh (their parent) by a 163 m drop making one of them a Marilyn. However, without more accurate heights, it is impossible to say which is the Marilyn, making them an example of a "twin peak". In their list of Corbetts, the Scottish Mountaineering Club treat both mountains as Corbetts;[cite book | title=Corbett Tops and Corbetteers | last=Dawson | first=Alan | coauthors=Hewitt, Dave | id=ISBN 0-9534376-1-2 | publisher=TACit Press | location=Cambuskenneth, Stirling | year=1999] ]fnb|2 Rois-Bheinn and Beinn Odhar Bheag are another example of a twin peak, both having a height of 882 m. As they are separated by a drop of 524 m, both are Marilyns and Corbetts. Following the precedent established in "Corbett Tops and Corbetteers", Rois-Bheinn is assumed to be higher when stating the relative height and parent.
fnb|3 Càrn na Coinnich and Meall nan Damh, Beinn Tharsuinn and Sidhean a' Choin Bhain, and Creag Thoraraidh and Cnoc Coir a' Phuill are three more pairs of twin tops. In each case, the summit with the trig point (Càrn na Coinnich, Beinn Tharsuinn and Creag Thoraraidh respectively) is, by convention, considered to be higher and therefore the Marilyn (and Graham where appropriate).
