- Title
Geology from rail journeys: the Inverness to Wick Line, Scotland.
- Authors
Taylor, Gordon
- Abstract
The Inverness to Wick railway line enables travellers to track the geological history of the far northeast of Scotland, spanning about 1000 million years, and starting in the Neoproterozoic. This history includes the Caledonian Orogeny, the deposition of Old Red Sandstone and Mesozoic sediments, the latter along the faulted margins close to the Great Glen Fault system, and ends with Pleistocene and Holocene deposition and erosion.
