Yes, and apparently Livingston is one of them.. which is bizarre. Or "wrong", to be more specific

DRAM was a shambles the year I did it. Vowed not to go back again. The guy that organises it seems a bit of a hopeless character. Soap, that comparator really isn't much use if it thinks Livi is flatter than Cramond. Interesting though!  G

They do say they have some anomalies in there and are looking to correct them.

The profile for Cramond looked a bit odd, wonder where they get them from

It says something call Footpath Route Planner app is where they get their elevation. I don't know how that works. But the elevation correction that most apps use will ignore the GPS elevation and correct it based on the map elevation for the GPS route. In which case Cramond should be virtually zero! G
