Petrofabric analyses of marble specimens from three widely separated localities in Mid-Strathspey and Strathavon are recorded. Preferred orientation of [0001] in the constituent grains of calcite conforms to a B-tectonite pattern, the symmetry axis (B) of which coincides with the b axis of the megascopic fabric (lineation and fold axis) at each locality. Development of {011¯2} lamellae in calcite grains is attributed to late minor compression, the direction of which is more or less horizontal and trends between N.E.–S.W. and E.N.E.–W.S.W.
