Abstract: U-Pb zircon ages are presented for the Ballachulish Igneous Complex (^sup 207^Pb-^sup 206^Pb age 427 ± 1 Ma; ^sup 206^Pb-^sup 238^U age 423 ± 0.3 Ma) and Glencoe Volcanic Complex (^sup 207^Pb-^sup 206^Pb age 406 ± 6 Ma) of the Scottish Highlands. These ages are significantly more precise than pre-existing age constraints, and discriminate a previously unresolved age difference of c. 20 Ma between the two complexes. This difference in age provides an explanation for the c. 10 km d...
