ResumoSummary The stratigraphical continuity between the SW and Central Highlands of Scotland is clarified with particular reference to the lower Dalradian rocks. The structural disposition of the rocks reveals the presence of the same two structural elements as found in the SW Highlands, namely, the Ardrishaig anticline and the Ben Lui fold. The mushroom structure of the Central Highlands is rejected, while the Boundary Slide is shown to be a diffuse D 2 structure, which is probably of no great mechanical importance.
