On Kyanite Localities in the North
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
The parish of Engie in Banffshire lies on the south shore of the Moray Firth, to the East of the Spey. From the Spey to Buckle on the East the rock is Old lied Sandstone, which extends from the sea inland for about two or two and a half miles. This sandstone area is bounded on the south by a series of clay-slates and mica-schists. Both on the low and high grounds of this little parish, specimens of Kyanite were often picked up, sometimes associated with quartz, and sometimes with the schistose rocks of the district.
