Extract

In the explanation of sheet 65 of the Geological Survey of Scotland an outcrop of aegirine-granulites was described from Glen Lui, 1¼ miles SSE. of Derry Lodge. Brief descriptions of some of the rocks were given and it was suggested that they might be metamorphosed igneous rocks having distinct affinities with the borolanites of Assynt. Such a correlation, it was felt, would be of importance in assessing the age of metamorphism in the Central Highlands. Harker (1932) made the further suggestion that these rocks might originally have been a tuff which had subsequently become metamorphosed.
