Morven, an indefinite region in the Highlands, figuring, or supposed to figure, in Ossian's poems. The name, which in Gaelic orthography is Mor-Bheinn, signifies simply the Great Mountain, ' and, as occurring in Ossian, it seems to designate either the Highlands generally or such portions of them as most abound in fastnesses or alpine heights.
