The Contaminated Gabbro of Easter Saphook near Old Meldrum in Aberdeenshire

Extract
In North-East Scotland the igneous rocks have been divided into two series, whose times of intrusion were separated by the movements responsible for the foliation and disposition of the crystalline schists of that area.2 With the older series, intruded prior to or during those movements, this paper is not concerned. The younger, or non-foliated, series supplies rock types ranging from peridotite to granite. Gabbro is the chief rock in the large independent basic masses formed by the younger igneous rocks; to the more important of these masses may be given the names of the Huntly, Insch, Boganloch, Haddo, Arnage, Maud, and Belhelvie Masses. For the most part they lie within Sheets 76, 77, 86, and 87 of the 1 inch Geological Survey Map of Scotland.
