Draw 10,000 of something (genuary day 16)

The database of British and Irish hills (DoBIH) has 12,404 entries for Scotland. Here's a 100x100 grid of the 10,000 tallest, starting with Ben Nevis (1344m), down to smaller hills in the 100m range. To generate the profile I'm sampling elevation data along a 5km east-west line through the listed summit position. Now I've not checked any of this but shout if you recognize a hill...

A3 420×297mm recycled white cartridge paper
10,000 hills, each about 3×4mm
Black Pigma Micron 05 (Munros), 02 (Corbetts), 01 (others)
3.5 hours drawing time
