ResumoAbstract A detailed examination of some new exposures in the Ben Lawers range reveals folds of three deformational episodes. These are described megascopically and microscopically. The foldgeometry is complex but the kinematic axes of each deformation are shown to be closely related. The folds of the first deformation have relationships which confirm the position of these rocks on the inverted limb of the Tay Nappe. Folds with relationships shown by those of the second deformation have not been described from adjacent areas. The folds of the third deformation are associated with the formation of the Ben Lawers Synform
