Abstract
Synopsis: A late Caledonian phase of regional metamorphism is outlined in the Western Highlands. Minor intrusions associated with the Newer Granites are found to exhibit varying degrees of regional metamorphism in which the zonal ‘isograds’ trend about north-east-south-west, approximately parallel to and increasing in grade towards the Great Glen. There is a major break in the zoning along the line of the Great Glen Fault.Keywords
