This paper analyses the main geographic patterns of rainfall variability over Central and Southern Scotland at the daily timescale during the autumn and extended winter (SONDJFM) period. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used to identify

Problems associated with radiocarbon dating the close of the Lateglacial period in the Rannoch Moor area, Scotland in Studies in the Lateglacial of North-West Europe.
Radiocarbon dates spannning the Lateglacial-Flandrian transition are presented from seven sites in the Rannoch Moor area of the Grampian Highlands, Scotland. Problems associated with the interpretation of these dates are discussed, and possible

The purpose of this study is to apply cosmogenic dating techniques to the Wester Ross Readvance Moraine, an unequivocal, well-preserved, ice-sheet limit in Scotland. Cosmogenic Be 10 from 4 Lewisian gneiss boulders on the Gairloch Moraine in NW
Scotland have yielded reliable exposures ages. It is suggested that the Wester Ross Readvance represents an ice-sheet oscillation during, or in the immediate aftermath of Heinrich Event 1.
