Abstract
Synopsis The structural complex comprising the Tarskavaig and Moine nappes of Skye has been re-mapped and analysed in detail. Large scale folds belong to only two generations and these can be correlated with generations of large folds in adjacent mainland areas. Small folds belong to at least four more generations in addition to the two generations already mentioned. Some of these small folds are, however, of little regional importance and are found only in zones of highly deformed rocks. These zones have developed at two separate times in the structural evolution; and, like thrust planes, belong to two other separate periods. General considerations indicate that the displacements on the thrust planes could be very much less than assumed, and there is the possibility that the Loch Alsh fold may well be a late stage structure, in contrast to earlier views.
