The Lewisian complex or Lewisian gneiss is a suite of Precambrian metamorphic rocks that outcrop in the northwestern part of Scotland, forming part of the Hebridean Terrane and the North Atlantic Craton. These rocks are of Archaean and Paleoproterozoic age, ranging from 3.0–1.7 billion years (Ga). They form the basement on which the Torridonian and Moine Supergroup sediments were deposited. The Lewisian consists mainly of granitic gneisses with a minor amount of supracrustal rocks. Rocks of the Lewisian complex were caught up in the Caledonian orogeny, appearing in the hanging walls of many of the thrust faults formed during the late stages of this tectonic event.

  • Lo sciame di dicchi Scourie, è uno sciame di dicchi intrusi nella sequenza di rocce metamorfiche del Precambriano che affiorano nella parte nordoccidentale della Scozia e fanno parte del . Queste rocce risalgono all'Archeano e al Paleoproterozoico, con un'età compresa tra 3,0 e 1,7 miliardi di anni. Lo sciame è di tipologia semplice e taglia le formazioni a bande degli gneiss del complesso Scourie e postdata gli importanti eventi ignei, tettonici e metamorfici che lo hanno creato. (it)
