| Caption: | Looking north-north-east from near Inverchoran, Strath Conon, Inverness-shire. |
| Description: | The main phases of the Caledonian Orogeny which included folding and igneous emplacement were followed by a period of crustal uplift and cooling during which ductile deformation gave rise to fracturing. The Strathconon Fault formed during this period and is part of the major suite of north-east - south-west trending faults that include the Great Glen Fault and the Strath Glass Fault. A river valley developed along the shatter belt of the major Strathconon Fault. The main phase of movement along the fault occurred at the end of the Caledonian Orogeny, thought to be pre-Devonian or early Devonian. |
