Extract

The author (1928) of the present communication has already published the results of a field survey of the Lower Old Red Sandstone in Perthshire and Angus, which were linked with those derived by Campbell (1913) from his study of similar and older series of beds in Kincardineshire, to the north-east. For thirty-five miles to the south-west of the R. Tay, no detailed investigation of the sequence or tectonics of the rocks immediately adjacent to the Highland Boundary Fault, separating the Grampians proper from the Central Valley of Scotland, has been undertaken. A comprehensive account of the rocks of this belt in the region around Aberfoyle is available in the paper by Campbell and Jehu (1917).
