A hill is classified as a Donald if it is a Scottish hill in the Scottish Lowlands at least 2000 feet high with a drop of at least 100 feet (30.48m) on all sides and elevations. Donald Tops are hills of sufficient topographical merit to rate inclusion in the list but with a drop of between 50 and 100 feet. For a fuller explanation visit the Database of British and Irish hills web site.
There is a related classification Dawson's New Donalds in which the qualifying criterion is simplified to 30 metres of drop. The New Donalds are a subset of the Graham Tops. Anyone who has completed the Donalds and Donald Tops will have visited all the New Donalds.
There are currently 89 Donalds and 52 Donald Tops.
