The Northern Highlands

Landscapes in Stone

Beschreibung

The rocks of northern Scotland tell of turbulent events involving continental collisions that unleashed cataclysmic forces, creating a chain of mountains, the remnants of which we see today on both sides of the Atlantic. In this book, Alan McKirdy makes sense of the many and varied episodes that shaped the familiar landscape we see today.
