Summary
| description | {{|1=A simplified tectonic model for the Scandian phase of the Caledonian orogeny at c.435-424 Ma in Northern Scotland (from Open University, 2003). A. Development of an active margin in post-Grampian times by westwards subduction of the northern arm of Iapetus beneath Laurentia. B. Underthrusting of Baltica beneath Laurentia and the development of both E- and W-directed thrust systems. In the Northern Scotland sector of the collision zone, this culminated in the Moine Thrust. This was followed by strike-slip displacement along the Great Glen Fault (omitted here for clarity) that brought the Northern Highlands to its present position relative to the Grampian Highlands which was unaffected by Scandian phase deformation and metamorphism. From: Fig. S.5. Strachan, Rob et al. Editors. 2010. A geological excursion guide to the Moine geology of the Northern Highlands of Scotland.
