Abstract
Synopsis: The succession of metamorphic rocks in the eastern part of the Mainland of Shetland is briefly described. Four main divisions are recognised. These rocks are compared in terms of lithology and sedimentary structures with the Moine and Dalradian rocks of Scotland . The westernmost division of the Shetland succession is correlated with the Moine while the other three divisions are considered to be Dalradian.Keywords
