Moraines which in one case at least contain striated boulders, show that, at the maximum of Quaternary glaciation, small, thin glaciers developed in the island of St. Kilda at certain favourable places. There is no evidence that the Hebridean ice sheet reached the island and no signs of raised beaches which would indicate recent emergence.
