Pen & Ink Drawing by Alfred Wainwright MBE

I’m back at Antiques On High and we’re looking at an original pen and ink drawing by Alfred Wainwright MBE (1907 - 1991)
It’s a rare drawing this - an original, signed by the artist and featuring Duffton Hill, just above the village of Duffton in Cumbria. The hill is described as a ‘Marilyn’ and as all my UA-cam videos are filmed as live, as they happen, we haven’t researched what a Marilyn is when it comes to hills!
Do you know what a Marilyn is? If so, let us know!

I don't know what it is a marilyn - I know lot of other stuff - love the daft video

This is from Wikipedia. “Marilyns are defined as peaks with a prominence of 150 metres (492 ft) or more, regardless of height or any other merit (e.g. topographic isolation, as used in Munros).[1] Thus, Marilyns can range from being mountains, with a height above 600 m (2,000 ft), to being relatively small hills.[2] As of April 2020 there were 2,011 Marilyns.[1]”
Beautiful picture and love the backstory.

Very good info, thank you

you're welcome David!

A Marilyn is a hill/mountain that is measured metrically and must be at least 150 meters high.
Apparently there are 1218 Marilyns in Scotland

Mariylns and Munros .. coincidence? (LOL)

[@pooooornopigeon]

Maybe a Marilyn is a Munro/Monroe ? 😉🤣🤣🤣

You might be right!
