>Dear Rob,
Congratulations. The Ullapool Meeting was a great pleasure in
assembling so many fine field-geologists, their data, and ideas. Rick
Law, you, and your fellow editors have "sweated blood" collating this
volume, which is a fine memorial and tribute to Peach and Horne and
their colleagues involved in mapping Assynt. It is gratifying that
you, Rick law, Maarten Krabbendam, Rob Strachan, Graham Leslie, and
Kathryn Goodenough, in particular , and others, are still maintaining
the fine tradition of geological mapping and field observation in the
Highlands. There is so much still to be done on the Scottish and
Irish Caledonides; we are still scratching the surface, witness Geoff
Tanner's fine recent work along the Highland Border, and Graham
Leslie's/Maarten Krabbendam's work in the Moine east of Assynt. .
Best wishes,.
John Dewey
