Abstract
SummaryComparison of Old Red Sandstone palaeomagnetism for NW Scotland and Norway lead to the hypothesis of a 200–300 km sinistral movement along the Great Glen Fault. The displacement is thought to be of late Caledonian (late Devonian) age. The new palaeogeographic reconstruction of Northern Britain (prior to late Caledonian times) seems to have interesting geological implications.
