The Dalradian Supergroup (informally and traditionally the Dalradian) is a stratigraphic unit (a sequence of rock strata) in the lithostratigraphy of the Grampian Highlands of Scotland and in the north and west of Ireland. The diverse assemblage of rocks which constitute the supergroup extend across Scotland from Islay in the west to Fraserburgh in the east and are confined by the Great Glen Fault to the northwest and the Highland Boundary Fault to the southeast. Much of Shetland east of the Walls Boundary Fault is also formed from Dalradian rocks. Dalradian rocks extend across the north of Ireland from County Antrim in the north east to Clifden on the Atlantic coast, although obscured by later Palaeogene lavas and tuffs or Carboniferous rocks in large sections.

  • Dalradian en geología describe una serie de rocas metamórficas, que por lo general se desarrollan en terreno elevado y se encuentran al sureste de la Gran Glen de Escocia. Esta fue la antigua región Celta de Dál Riata (Dalriada), y en 1891 Archibald Geikie propuso el nombre de Dalradian como una designación provisional para el complicado conjunto de rocas a los que es difícil asignar una posición definida en la secuencia estratigráfica.​ (es)
