Abstract
Synopsis: The interpretation of Bailey and Macgregor (1912) and Bailey (1922) is revised. The presence of three major, isoclinal and recumbent folds is demonstrated. Their geometry and facing is described by reference to minor structures, sedimentary structures and the overall stratigraphy. The Glen Orchy Antiform, around which the primary structures are folded, possibly developed together with the primary folds. It is not associated with any minor secondary structures. The structure of the Glen Orchy area raises important questions in the interpretation of the overall structure of the Moine and Dalradian.
