History.
Whenever the term "Grand Slam" was first used in relation to shinty is unsure, the term was first used for Golf in the 1930s. The MacAulay Cup was first played for in 1947 and this can be gauged as the beginning of the Grand Slam era.
Although both Ballachulish and Lovat have won the Glasgow Celtic Society and MacTavish Cups respectively, this was outside a Grand Slam season, (indeed Balla's win was before the advent of the MacAulay Cup) although Lovat won the first Grand Slam two years later in 1953.
Kingussie won 3 Grand Slams in a row in the late 1990s.
The trophies involved in winning the Grand Slam have developed with the advent of the national Premier Division replacing the South Division One and the North Division One.
