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 over‐run by the Scottish ice‐cap. An examination of the roches moutonnees on the east side of the islands from Stornoway to S. Uist shows that the ice flowed towards and not away from Scotland. During the last glacial maximum the Outer Hebrides were glaciated by their own ice‐cap. There is evidence that the Scottish ice‐cap overran the area during an earlier glaciation.
