Grampian (Scottish Gaelic: Roinn a' Mhonaidh) was one of nine local government regions of Scotland.

(Scotland) Act 1994, which divided the region into the three single-tier council areas of Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, and Moray.

The former City of Aberdeen and Moray districts each became council areas (although 'City of Aberdeen' was renamed 'Aberdeen City' to coincide with the reforms),[3] and Banff and Buchan, Gordon, and Kincardine and Deeside merged into a new Aberdeenshire council area.

Grampian Regional Council was based at Woodhill House, Westburn Road, Aberdeen.

The possibility that local government reform may be coming was taken into account in the design of the building, which was completed and occupied in phases from early 1975 onwards.
