| dbo:abstract | Mormond Hill (Scottish Gaelic A' Mhormhonadh, meaning the great hill or moor; known as Mormounth in Old Scots) is a large hill in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, not far from Fraserburgh. Its peak is 769 feet (234 m). The villages of Strichen and New Leeds can be found at its southern foothills. It also has a smattering of disused satellite dishes and masts on top, remnants from Cold War U.S. armed forces communications and British Telecom having a presence on the site. The hill is mentioned in the traditional Scottish ballad known as Mormond Braes.The word 'Brae' comes from bràigh ("top") in Scottish Gaelic, while the rest of the ballad is a mix of English and Scots, with references to 'Strichen toon'. The ballad is about a girl who's lost her lover and is preparing herself to face the world and get another. The hill is also referenced in the poem Farewell to Tarwathie by George Scroggie of Strichen, published in 1857, and now better known as the song published in Volume 1 of the Greig–Duncan collection (c. 1909). As of 1990, there were the ruins of a hunting lodge, built in 1779. This countrey is neither altogether high or levell, but rather a mixture of both. Towards the head of it is somewhat hilly countrey; but downward to the sea it is more low and plain, without any considerable rising except that of Mormounth, a great hill within some six miles of Fraserburgh. — manuscript attributed to the Countess of Erroll (en) Is cnoc in Albain í a' Mhórmhonadh, atá suite i gComhairle Shiorrachd Obar Dheathain.
