GRAMPIAN HILL was built by John Lewis & Sons for George Craig & Sons Ltd, Aberdeen as one of two for this owner. The sister ship was called GRAMPIAN GLEN. GRAMPIAN HILL and GRAMPIAN GLEN were the new design trawlers to replace the old coal burning trawlers in the 60s. These two trawlers fished the Shetland North Sea waters for the company until 1973 when they were replaced by two smaller vessels of the same name built in Glasgow. GRAMPIAN HILL was sold to El Marisco SACI Mar del Plata in Argentina in 1974 and renamed ANTONIO SAVERIO. Lloyd's Register 2005/06 shows GRAMPIAN GLEN was also sold to this company and renamed ARTURO JORGE.
According to Lloyds register 2010 the ships are with the same owners and still have the original engines.
