Abstract
The main structural and metamorphic features of the Lewisian rocks of the Outer Hebrides are outlined and compared with those of the Lewisian on the Scottish mainland. In each area three structural zones are recognized, characterized by folding of different styles and periods. The three zones of the Outer Hebrides are closely analogous to the Scourian and Laxfordian zones of the mainland.Keywords
