Try the OS web-site; there was one of the miscellaneous sets of maps
which was effectively almost heights only (different bands of heights in
different colours, rather than actual contour lines), although I can't
remember what was the best scale available. You might be able to identify
suitable maps if you go to the Map Section at the National Library of
Scotland, where a full-size photocopy of an out-of-copyright old map might
be cheaper than a new one, especially as the vast majority of places on 
such a map will be the same apart from the odd pit bing making the maps
almost age-indifferent.
