Abstract
The paper describes a horizon of greywackes outcropping on the coast near Macduff, Banffshire, and containing large boulders of igneous and metamorphic rocks. This horizon belongs to the Macduff Group of the Upper or Banff Division of the Dalradian. It is suggested that the boulders may have been dropped into the greywackes from floating ice.Keywords
