The papers in this book review and partly summarise the present state of knowledge concerning the Caledonides of the British Isles--broadly the history of geological events from about 700 to 400 million years ago including events in the type area of Caledonia, Scotland. Many of the papers report new work and the volume is a contribution to the study of the Caledonide orogenic belt that was originally continuous from Scandinavia through Britain and Ireland to N America.
