The Japanese tsunami (March 2011) was more than 10 meters high in some places. That's higher than a two story house.
However, there was one in Lituya Bay in Alaska (9 July 1958) that was over 1700 feet (520 meters, more than half a kilometer) high and was the highest recorded in history. This tsunami was caused by a landslide.
The height of the wave, above the rest position, is its Amplitude. Twice the amplitude is the distance from the deepest point to the highest point.
The height of a wave above the median line is called the wave height. It is typically measured from the trough (lowest point) to the crest (highest point) of the wave. Wave height is an important parameter in assessing wave conditions for activities such as surfing, boating, and offshore operations.

No, East Lothian is not the highest county in Scotland for average height above sea level. The highest county in Scotland is Perth and Kinross, which includes mountains like Ben Lawers and Schiehallion. East Lothian is relatively low-lying compared to other parts of Scotland.
The height of Mount Kilimanjaro is 19,341 feet (5,895 meters) above sea level, making it the highest peak in Africa.
The highest sea waves are tsunamis
Feburary 6th, the highest sea wave was 34 meters.
The vertical height of a wave is called the amplitude. It is the distance from the rest position of the wave (the midpoint or baseline) to its highest point.
For water waves, the tsunamis reach the greatest heights
The wave crest is the highest point of a wave, where the wave reaches its maximum height before breaking.
a. crest
A crest of the sea is the highest point of a wave. It is where the wave is breaking and the water is lifted up and pushed forwards by the wind.
From maximum (crest) to minimum (troth) in height.
The maximum height reached by a wave from its rest position is called the amplitude. It is the distance from the rest position to the highest point of the wave.
The height of the wave, above the rest position, is its Amplitude. Twice the amplitude is the distance from the deepest point to the highest point.
