Abstract
Synopsis: Major and minor structures in the Moinian and Dalradian rocks of the Monadhliath Mountains are described and the tectonic history of the area outlined. Early major structures, isoclinal recumbent folds with north-east trending axial planes, are refolded by Late asymmetric folds with north-east trending axial planes dipping steeply to the south-east. These episodes of folding are correlated with those described elsewhere in the Ballappel Foundation and the Iltay Dalradians.Keywords
