[3] [4] Many classifications of mountains in the British Isles consider a prominence between 30–150 metres (98–492 ft) as being a "top", and not a mountain; however, using the 30 metres (98 ft) prominence threshold gives the broadest possible list of mountains. For a ranking of mountains with a higher prominence threshold use:
14 (The tallest peak on a territory with a permanent population) Queen Mary's Peak: 2,062 metres (6,765 ft) Tristan Da Cunha: 23 (The tallest peak in Great Britain and Scotland) Ben Nevis: 1,345 metres (4,413 ft) Scotland: The tallest peak in Wales: Snowdon: 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) Wales: The tallest peak in England: Scafell Pike: 978 metres ...

The encirclement parent is found by tracing the contour below peak A's key col and picking the highest mountain in that region. This is easier to determine than the prominence parent; however, it tends to give non-intuitive results for peaks with very low cols such as Jabal Shams which is #110 in the list.
