Description
Acknowledgments We are grateful to Dalradian Gold Ltd. for providing the sections for petrographic analysis, geochemical data, and general support. We would also like to thank the following: John Still, Alison Sandison, and Jenny Johnston of the School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen, for assistance with the SEM studies (JS) and with preparing figures (AS and JJ); NERC for ongoing funding of the Argon Isotope facility at SUERC; Jim Imlach and Ross Dymock at SUERC for technical assistance; and Martin Lee at the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences at the University of Glasgow for use of the SEM/CL equipment. The paper has benefitted significantly from comments by the official reviewers and unofficial reviews by Garth Earls, Jamie Wilkinson, Mark Cooper, and Adrian Boyce, and detailed conversations with Ian Alsop (structural geology of the Sperrins) and Nyree Hill and Gawen Jenkin (gold mineralization in the Caledonides). The authors are entirely responsible for the conclusions expressed.
