is one of the
terranes
that form part of the
Caledonian orogenic belt
in northwest
Scotland
. Its boundary with the neighbouring Northern Highland Terrane is formed by the
Moine Thrust Belt
. The basement is formed by
Archaean
and
Paleoproterozoic
gneisses
of the
Lewisian complex
, unconformably overlain by the
Neoproterozoic
Torridonian
sediments, which in turn are unconformably overlain by a sequence of
Cambro
–
Ordovician
sediments. It formed part of the
Laurentian
foreland during the Caledonian
continental collision
.
