NORTHERN HIGHLANDS: LANDSCAPES IN STONE

The rocks of northern Scotland tell of continental collisions that created a chain of mountains whose remnants we can see today on both sides of the Atlantic. Some of the most important geological phenomena have been established and described from studies carried out in these stunning landscapes. This book highlights a number of fascinating geological features, including the Old Red Sandstones of Cromarty and the Black Isle, which carry the secrets of life during `the Age of Fishes'.
