Abstract
The Lower Cambrian Leny Limestone shows evidence of a structural history similar to that recorded in undoubted Dalradian rocks. This similarity confirms the view that the Leny Limestone forms part of the Dalradian and that the first folding of the latter into the Tay Nappe occurred at the Highland Border during or after the Lower Cambrian.Keywords
