image:ScotlandGrampians1974.png

Grampian was a local government region of Scotland from 1975 to 1996. It is now divided into the council areas of Moray, Aberdeenshire, and the City of Aberdeen.


Whilst it existed it had several districts under it - Aberdeen, Banff and Buchan, Gordon, Kincardine and Deeside, Moray. The region took its name from the Grampians mountains.


Grampian continues to have a joint police service, fire service, and electoral, valuation, and health boards.

Grampian is also the name of a commercial TV station which has served the north and east regions of Scotland since 1961.
