| Summary: | Four regional deformation episodes are recognized in the Moine rocks of this area in NW Scotland. One set of folds is intensely curvilinear and at many localities their hinges lie approximately parallel to the N-S-trending extension lineation. Examination of these structures in three dimensions provides information on the nature and orientation of the strain ellipsoid in this part of the Moine, which is markedly different from the later ellipsoid of demonstrable Caledonian age.
