Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Geology and Scenery, of the Grampians and the Valley of Strathmore, Vol. 1
Tun object of this work is to present a summary of the geological structure of the Grampians and the great Valley of Strathmore. These two important divisions of Scotland lie respectively to the north west and south-east of the Highland boundary fault. This great fault can be traced through Arran and Bute, crossing to the mainland near Toward Castle, from which point it can be followed across the whole of Scotland by Balmaha, Aberfoyle, Callander, and Dunkeld, to the sea at Stonehaven. Geographically, this line divides the Highlands from the Midland Valley; and geologically, the crystalline schists of the Grampians from the Old Red Sandstone rocks of the broad Valley of Strathmore.
