Our knowledge of the geology of the district fringing the Grampians in Perthshire and Angus has been limited in the main to the published 1 inch maps of H.M. Geological Survey of Scotland (Sheets 48 and 56 in particular). A few papers in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society about the middle of the last century deal with certain exposures of special interest. The writer of the present contribution has conducted recently a detailed investigation of the area between Dunkeld and Fern, and an account of the solid geology has been published. The glacial geology presents no less interesting material or problems and, while the major portion of the results is being held over until further field-work is undertaken, one aspect, and over a limited area, will be considered here.

page 33 note 1 Following upon the cloudburst of 9th May, 1913, the Inzion Burn was unable to cope with the swollen waters of the Quharity, which discharged down the Carity causing serious flooding. There is a local legend that the mill-owners on the Carity used to bribe someone at Newton to divert periodically for their benefit the waters of the Quharity by means of a small drain.
