Abstract

The world’s mountain ranges are the clearest manifestations of long-term deformation of the continental crust. As such they have attracted geological investigations for centuries. Throughout this long history of research a few keynote publications stand out. One of the most important is the Geological Survey’s 1907 memoir, The Geological Structure of the North-West Highlands of Scotland. The papers in this Special Publication celebrate the 100th anniversary of this remarkable book, placing the original findings in a present-day context by juxtaposing them against modern studies, not only from the NW Highlands, but also from elsewhere around the world.
