Abstract
The Monadhliath and Leven Schists are separated north of Glen Roy by some 500m of psammitic rock. Junctions are gradational and conformable, and evidence from sedimentary structures indicates that all three face upwards. The two schists should not be equated, nor should the Monadhliath Schist be included in the Dalradian Supergroup unless the entire Grampian Division is also included.Keywords
