Key Points

High-pressure metamorphism occurred in Scotland during the Late Ordovician, confirming geological transformations.
Field evidence shows that the Caledonian metamorphic climax happened before the Iapetus Ocean closed.
Analysis focused on petrography and thermobarometry to understand the metamorphic processes and conditions.
Understanding these geological events may enhance insights into the tectonic evolution of the region.
