Maiden Paps, Caithness
The Maiden Pap is a hill located in Caithness, Scotland. It is an inselberg, formed of Devonian conglomerates, rising steeply out of the surrounding plain and visible from as far away as Hoy and the Moray Firth. The Pap is so named because its shape resembles that of a human breast.
