Mountgrampians are one of the three largest mountains in Scotland, covering a significant part of the Scottish Highlands in north-west Scotland. Scotland's other large mountains are the North West Highlands and the Southern Uplands. Between the Highland Boundary Fault and the Great Glen, the Mount of Grampians stretches from south-west to north-east, covering almost half of Scotland's surface area, which includes the Cairngorms and Lochaber Hills.

It encompasses many of the highest peaks in the British Isles, among them Ben Nevis (the highest point in the British Isles at 1,344 meters above sealevel) and Ben Macdui (the second highest at 1,309 meters). The Grampians, such as Tay, Spey, Cowie Water, Burn of Muchalls, Burn of Pheppie, Burn of Elsick, Cairnie Burn, Don, Dee and Esk, are the source of a number of watercourses and creeks.

Some ambiguities exist about the extension of the mountains, and until the nineteenth centuries they were generally regarded as more than one mountainous area, all of which belong to the larger Highlands of Scotland. Many people still hold this opinion today, and they do not have a name in the Scottish-Gaelic or Doric idiom of the Lowland Scots.

Its name was used in the names of organizations that cover the area, among them the former municipal territory of the region of Roinn a' Mhonaidh and Grimpian Television. Cornelius Tacitus, a famous researcher from Rome, mentioned Mons Graupius as the site of the conquest of the indigenous Caledonians by Gnaeus Julius Agricola around 83 AD.

Mgr Graupius, the literal "Graupian Mountain" (the Grey pian item is of little significance), is controversial among the historian, although most prefer a site within the Grempian range, possibly at Raedykes, Megray Hill or Kempstone Hill. 2 ] "Graupius" was misrepresented as "Grampius" only in the 1476 print of Tacitus' Biographie by Agricola.

3 ] The name Grampians is said to have been first used on the mountains in 1520 by the Scotish historic Hector Boece, an adaption of the false Mons Grampius. So the series still owe its name to a typesetter's error. There are some uncertainties about the scope, as mentioned in the introductory remarks.

With Wyness's (1969) intro, the writer who wrote about Deeside places the Grampians' northerly border on the river Dee when he writes: Wyness clearly defined the Cairngorms as the mountain chain that runs from just to the South of Aberdeen to the West to Beinn Dearg in the Atholl Forest.

At Watson (1975) the writer - while he defines the extension of the Cairngorms - explicitly rules out the area just below the Dee River and writes: Another major group of hills is the long ridge that runs from Drumochter in the east almost to the ocean just to the south of Aberdeen. A lot of cards and textbooks have given their names as "the Grampians", but although the kids have to study it at primary schools, they don't study it at home and nowhere is it used in the area.

Several mapmakers have puzzled the problem by also printing'Grampians' over the Cairngorms and Strath Don mounds! Subsequent hill and mountain ridges are covered by the generally accepted Grampians definitions, i.e. between the Highland and Great Glen Faultlines: Cairngorm' s. Scottish Mountaineering Trust.
