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.
