Geology of Caithness

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Since the services of many of those who originally surveyed the ground were no longer available, when the Memoir was written, some re-examination Of their areas became necessary. Accordingly Dr. Crampton visited and examined the area between Dunnet and Thurso, and Mr. Carruthers re-examined the district between Achanarras and Thurso and thence westwards by the coast to Reay. Dr. Peach and Dr. Horne have prepared a chapter on the glaciation Of the whole county, besides describing the solid geology Of the areas which they mapped.
