Reflected clouds in the water.\n\nThe geology of the Scottish Highlands is some of the oldest and most dramatic in Europe—shaped by ancient tectonic collisions, volcanic activity, and glacial erosion over billions of years. Here's a breakdown of the major geologic features:\n\n1. The Caledonian Orogeny (Mountain-Building Event)\nAround 400 million years ago, during the Paleozoic Era, the Scottish Highlands were formed by a massive continental collision between what are now North America and Europe. This event is called the Caledonian Orogeny, and it created a huge mountain range—once as tall as the modern Himalayas.\n\n2. Major Geological Zones\nThe Highlands are split into several geologic regions, separated by fault lines:\n\nThe Moine Thrust Belt (Northwest Highlands): This is one of the most important geological structures in Britain. It shows older rocks (Lewisian Gneiss, over 3 billion years old) being pushed over younger rocks—evidence of intense tectonic forces. It’s often used as a classic example of thrust faulting.\n\nThe Grampian Highlands: These mountains contain Dalradian rocks, formed from sediments deposited in a deep ocean basin, later folded, metamorphosed, and uplifted. They're primarily schists, slates, and quartzites.\n\nThe Great Glen Fault: A major strike-slip fault (similar to California’s San Andreas Fault) that runs southwest to northeast and separates the Northwest Highlands from the Grampians. Loch Ness lies along this fault line.\n\nThe Hebridean Terrane: Composed largely of ancient Lewisian Gneiss, some of the oldest rocks in Europe (up to 3 billion years old). These rocks form parts of the Outer Hebrides and western Highlands.\n\nIf you ever go hiking in the Highlands, you're literally walking across billions of years of Earth’s story—one tectonic plate collision at a time.",
