It is shown that “Hutton's Unconformity” on the Isle of Arran has been misinterpreted. The assumed plane of unconformity is in reality the plane separating the Dalradian schists from the upper-most zone of schists impregnated with and cemented by calcareous material. The true plane of unconformity is situated some 4 feet above this plane.
