Abstract
For the last 100 years there has been general acceptance for J. Geikie's hypothesis that during the last glacial maximum the Outer Hebrides was overβrun by the Scottish iceβcap.

During the last glacial maximum the Outer Hebrides were glaciated by their own iceβcap. There is evidence that the Scottish iceβcap overran the area during an earlier glaciation.
