Grampians
a mountain range in Scotland. They commence in W. Scotland from the extremity of the lowest arm of the Frith of Clyde, between the counties of Argyle and Dunbarton, and running S., sweep round in a deep semicircle to the E., till they nearly impinge on the German Ocean, in the county of Kincardine. Before reaching this terminus a branch is thrown off, which, trending in a N. W. direction, forms a lesser curve, which, passing through Aberdeen, Banff, and Elgin, is finally lost on the skirts of Inverness-shire. In this extended course it sends up several lofty peaks that form the highest eminences in Scotland. Of these the most important are Ben Lomond, Ben Ledi, Ben More, Ben Lawer, and Ben Voirlich. Also, the name of a mountain chain in the colony of Victoria, South Australia, whose highest point is Mount William, which is 4,500 feet above the level of the sea.
