The tune probably first appeared around the turn of the 20th century, and at that time was sometimes known as Scotland the Brave.

Grampian's first on screen identification film, or ident for short, featured a black, white and grey image of four mountain peaks, which turn into the saltire, with the grey peak at the bottom, against the tune " Scotland the Brave ".

The replacing ident started with the four sections of the saltire coloured red, yellow, blue and white merging to form a white diamond from which the saltire emerges upon a light blue background accompanied by a harp version of the Scotland the Brave jingle.

As the ident progresses, the dots move closer, and the diamonds bend to that it becomes a three dimensional saltire shape as the ' Scotland the Brave ' music begins to be more noticeable.
