AbstractThe chemical differences which exist between the Moine and Torridonian rocks of the Scottish Highlands are of the same nature and order of magnitude as those between extreme end members of the Norwegian Sparagmite Formation. It is concluded that in Scotland, as in Norway, a unilateral trend of sedimentary differentiation operated from north-west to south-east across the direction of the Caledonian geosyncline and led to chemical grading of the arenaceous sediments transverse to the trend of the late Pre-Cambrian depositional basin.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to demonstrate that much of the ‘hummocky moraine’ present within the northern part of the LochLomond Readvance ice cap formerly situated in the North West Scottish Highlands may be interpreted as suites of ice-front moraines deposited during active decay. These landforms can be used to reconstruct ice cap decay, whichleads to important insights into the shrinking form of the ice cap and associated environmental conditions. Evidence has been collected from 10803 airphotographs and from detailed field survey. It is presented at three spatial scales.

In the following paper I propose to give an account of some observations upon the structure and succession of the rocks of the Southern Highlands. By the term Southern Highlands I mean that part of the Scottish Highlands lying immediately to the north-west of the great line of fault separating the older rocks of the former area from the younger Old Red Sandstone series of the low grounds.

The relation of the Torridon Sandstone to the Moine Gneiss or ‘Eastern Schists’ is one of the primary questions in thegeology of the Scottish Highlands. These two widespread series ofrocks occur on opposite sides of the great overthrusts in North-Western Scotland; and another remarkable feature of their distributionis that though the Torridon Sandstone often rests directly upon theLewisian Gneiss, it never occurs on the Moine Gneiss. The view hastherefore been suggested that the Moine rocks are the easternmetamorphosed continuation of the Torridonian. Some altered Torridon Sandstones certainly resemble the rocks of the Moine Series.Dr. Home, in his address to the British Association in 1901, quotedthe authority of Dr. Teall and Dr. Peach for the resemblance ofaltered Torridon Sandstone to the Moine; and he again remarked thisresemblance in the memoir on the North-West Highlands. The lateW. Gunn went further, and in the same work claimed (p. 612) that “east of Dundonnell good evidence can be adduced that alteredTorridon Sandstone has entered largely into the composition of the Eastern schists”. The recent memoir on the Fannich Mountains represents some of the flaggy granulites of that district as due “to the crushing of Torridonn grit”.
