In describing the geomorphological heritage of Scotland, this
volume offers a remarkable account of how the natural environment
responded in terms of landforms, processes and plant communities,
to severe climatic change as the Quaternary era progressed over the
last two million years. This legacy, as preserved in the 138
nationally important GCR sites described, documents a remarkable
diversity of landforms in a relatively small area. The rugged
highland contrast with the rolling hills and flat plains found
further south, while the western and northern islands, together
with the highly-indented coastline add further to the scenic
diversity. How this variety of landscapes came into being, the
forces which shaped it , and the climatic extremes which drove it,
are the themes explored in this volume.
