Grantown-on-Spey is a town in the Highland Council Area, historically within the county of Moray. It is located on a low plateau at Freuchie beside the river Spey at the northern edge of the Cairngorm mountains, about 20 miles south-east of Inverness.
The town was founded in 1765 as a planned settlement, and was originally called simply Grantown after Sir James Grant. The addition 'on Spey' was added by the burgh council in 1898. The town has several listed 18th and 19th century buildings, including several large hotels, and serves as a regional centre for tourism and services in the Strathspey region.
The town is twinned with Notre-Dame-de-Monts in the Vendée, Pays de la Loire, France.

Inverallan is a former parish in Morayshire in Scotland. It is generally equivalent to the area now known as Grantown.
At an unknown date before the Reformation, it joined together with the parishes of Cromdale and Advie to form the parish of "Cromdale, Inverallan and Advie", which later became a civil parish and in which Inverallen remained until 1869. Grantown was founded there in 1765.
