Abstract
 
 
This Research has shown that the method of projected profiles may be used with advantage for solving problems connected with the physical features of highland areas in Scotland.
 
Although this investigation has been limited to the discovery and definition of platforms of erosion in the Grampian Highlands, the mounted profiles may be used again as a basis for solving related problems such as the evolution of drainage systems. For example, during the examination of the mounted profiles two ancient valley systems were noted in the drainage basin of the existing River Don. The first occurs in the upper part of the basin incised from 2000 down to some 1300 feet; the second still further west incised from 2750 dawn to 2400 feet.
