A Marilyn is a mountain or hill in the British Isles with a relative height of at least 150 metres, regardless of absolute height or other merit. The name was coined as a humorous contrast to the designation Munro, used of a Scottish mountain with a height of more than 3000 feet, which is homophonous with Monroe. There are currently 1554 Marilyns identified in Great Britain: 1214 in Scotland, 180 in England, 156 in Wales and 5 on the Isle of Man (Black Mountain is in both England and Wales). There are a further 453 Marilyns in Ireland. The list of Marilyns in Britain was compiled by Alan Dawson in his book The Relative Hills of Britain. The Northern Fells
