The origin of the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy: a review of 19th Century research
Institution:1. Faculty of Geosciences, University of Bremen, Germany;2. Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, Norway
Abstract:This paper summarises the 19th Century research conducted in the Lochaber area and which sought to answer the enigma of the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy. This should be seen as an introduction to the main theories that were developed by a number of scientists, including Darwin, Agassiz and Jamieson. They considered the landforms to be a product of either lacustrine, marine or glaciolacustrine processes, the latter of which proposed by Jamieson, became the accepted explanation by the end of the century.
Keywords:Parallel roads  Glen Roy  Darwin  Agassiz  Jamieson
