		The Highland Boundary Fault is a geologic fault that traverses Scotland from Arran to Stonehaven.
		The fault allowed the Midland Valley to descend as a major rift by as much as 4000 metres and there was subsequently vertical movement.
		A complementary fault, the Southern Upland Fault, forms the southern boundary for the Midland Valley.

		South of the HBF are younger sedimentary rocks with lava extrusions (Lower Devonian) which form the Ochil Hills on the southern fringes of Strathearn.
		The relative hardnesses of Highland metamorphic rocks, the sediments and the lavas have resulted in erosion into the 3 different landscapes of present day Strathearn: the craggy Highlands rising to 985m, the relatively flat valley floor and the modest Ochil Hills.
		The Highland Boundary Fault was active with the area to the south (the Midland Valley) subsiding relative to the mountains.

		The Scottish Highlands (A' GhÃ idhealtachd in Gaelic) include the rugged and mountainous regions of Scotland north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault.
		This Highland area differed from the Lowlands by language and tradition, having preserved Gaelic speech and customs centuries after the anglicization of the latter; the result of which led to a growing perception of a divide with the cultural distinction between Highlander and Lowlander first noted towards the end of the 14th century.
		The Highlands lie to the north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, which runs from Arran to Stonehaven.

	Prehistoric & Early Scotland
		The Highland Boundary Fault Line was formed about 4 million years ago, from the splitting and folding of the Earth's crust, and runs diagonally southwest (Firth of Clyde) to the northeast (Stonehaven).
		The Great Glen Fault Line runs from the Moray Firth to Loch Linnhe (by Fort William), and the Southern Upland Fault Line, which separates England from Scotland and lies diagonally across the land from the Solway Firth to Berwick-on-the-Tweed in the northeast.
		Yes, the elevation of the Highlands does have a bearing of the Highland areas but some areas considered "Highland" are actually in the lowlands (not Lowlands).

		The Highlands - the massed ranks of hills rising to over four thousand feet, and the glens and lochs between them - begin north of the Highland Boundary Fault, a geological divide separating the northern two-thirds of Scotland from its more populous central belt.
		As a result, the history of the Highlands and Islands is quite distinct from the rest of Scotland, with its deeply embedded clan structure and the influence of Norse rule, which continued in some of the islands until as late as the fifteenth century.
		Nowadays, the traditional Highland industries of farming, crofting, fishing and whisky distilling are no longer enough to provide jobs for the younger generation, and have had to be supplemented by forestry, fish-farming and the oil industry.

		It passes from the lowlands across the Highland Boundary fault and into the Scottish Highlands.
		The West Highland Way is a long hillwalking expedition and walkers should be equipped accordingly.

	WILSON CREEK FAULT
		From diligent studies of the rock types these faults juxtapose, and the offsets exhibited, geologists have concluded that all these disjointed fault strands were once part of the same through-going fault, the Wilson Creek fault, which was subsequently ripped to pieces by more recent faulting.
		One of these faults has its most recent rupture dated as Quaternary, and is definitely the Wilson Creek fault of old.
		This may be a reactivated segment of the ancient Wilson Creek fault, though some may label it differently due to the recency of rupture.

	PALEOMAGNETIC DATING OF A FOCUSED FLUID-FLOW EVENT ALONG THE HIGHLAND BOUNDARY FAULT, SCOTLAND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Cambrian-Ordovician serpentinite in the Highland Border Complex (HBC), a tectonic terrane along the Highland Boundary Fault (HBF) in Scotland, contains a complex multi-component magnetization.
		Red dolomitized serpentinite was sampled at multiple localities along the HBF and relatively unaltered serpentinite was sampled at two localities.
		The Carboniferous magnetization in hematite is interpreted as a chemical remanent magnetization that formed when warm, probably basinal fluids moved along the fault zone and caused hematite authigenesis.

	Regional Metamorphism
		This mapping was later extended across the Scottish Highlands to cover most of the Dalradian and Moinian Series as shown in the map.
		The boundaries for his zones were based on the first appearance of a particular mineral, called an index mineral, which is characteristic of the zone.
		This is because the oceanic ridge that was off the western coast of North America was subducted, and the margin changed from one dominated by compression and subduction to a transform fault margin dominated by strike slip faulting.

		Structurally this boundary is apparently a highly strained zone of intensely foliated and lineated rocks.
		A sharp change in composition exists across the boundary of the band and its host, and the boundaries themselves generally appear correspondingly sharp.
		Occasionally, however, the boundary may be cuspate and less distinct, and it may exhibit faint-trails at a high angle to the walls.

	Articles - Scottish Lowlands (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Scottish Lowlands, although not officially a geographical area of the country, in normal usage is generally meant to include those parts of Scotland not referred to as the Highlands (or GÃ idhealtachd), that is, everywhere due south and east of a line (the Highland Boundary Fault) between Stonehaven and Bowling (Firth of Clyde).
		Although Caithness, is sometimes classified under Highlands and Islands, it is also often considered "Lowland" and are differentiated from the GÃ idhealtachd when, for example, discussing Lowland Scots (although sections of Caithness spoke Gaelic into the 20th century).
		Geographically, Scotland is divided into three distinct areas: the Highlands, the Central plain (Central Belt), and the Southern Uplands.
