... the paucity of Archaean detritus in the Bowmore Sandstone Group. However, the data are comparable to parts of the Dalradian Grampian Group, in particular, the Glen Spean Subgroup (Upper Grampian Group, Strathtummel succession). It is proposed that the Bowmore Sandstone Group was deposited in an eastern...

.... At Creag Stalcair, an inverted succession of low-amphibolite-facies psammites belonging to the Grampian Group (Gaick Psammite Formation) display numerous sedimentary structures reflecting deposition in a sandy, tidally influenced environment. These exposures provide a unique insight into the palaeo...

...B. W. GLOVER; J. A. WINCHESTER Abstract A stratigraphic framework is proposed for the Late Proterozoic Grampian Group of the Scottish Highlands. The Grampian Group is divided into three subgroups, each defined by distinctive lithofacies associations reflecting different environments of deposition...

... Pebbly Psammite Formations (hitherto included within the Glenshirra Subgroup at the base of the Neoproterozoic Grampian Group) represent a continuum of alluvial fan to shallow water sediments, deposited in a SE thinning fan-delta clastic wedge. These sediments, derived from an uplifted granitoid...

...A. R. Prave; A. E. Fallick; K. Kirsimäe Abstract The Tonian–Cambrian Dalradian Supergroup in Scotland is a siliciclastic–carbonate succession that can be up to 10 km thick. The consensus view is that its lower part, the mid- to late Tonian Grampian and Appin groups, formed in rift basins: the deep...

... included certain rocks found SE of the Great Glen in the Moine (e.g. Johnstone 1975; Harris & Pitcher 1975) but some or all of these are probably better referred to the Grampian Group of the Dalradian for reasons set out in Chapter 4. Many of the Grampian Group rocks resemble Moine units lithologically...

.... The metamorphic rocks of the Scottish Central Highlands (Fig. 1) comprise units referred to the Southern Highland (youngest), Argyll, Appin and Grampian (oldest) groups. While Harris et al. 1978 regarded the Grampian Group as the oldest Dalradian group, it is broadly equivalent to the Grampian Division (Moine...

... by different workers with either the Grampian or Appin groups. We correlate the Boulder Bed with the Port Askaig Tillite of Vendian ( c. 650 Ma) age, and deduce that the sequence in which it occurs belongs to the younger Argyll Group. The latter is preserved within the D2 Kinlochlaggan Synform...

The shear zones record compressional(?) transport directed towards the NNE, and in the northern sector of the Central Highlands were reactivated by later (Caledonian?) extensional SE-directed movement. The presence of the c. 806 Ma event in the Grampian Group challenges recent proposals that early...

... of the Moine Supergroup, and basin geometry, are similar to those inferred for the other major Riphean clastic sequences of Scotland, the ‘Torridonian’ of the foreland and the Grampian Group to the southeast. The latter is followed by Upper Riphean transgressive strata of the Appin Group. Scottish Riphean...
