Abstract

A possible cause of the lineation developed in the Scottish Highlands and elsewhere may consist in the presence of sub-crustal convection currents. While it is recognized that these are, to some extent, conjectural, the probable results of the conjecture are compared with the directions of lineation, in areas where this structure has been investigated.
