Abstract
Temporal and spatial association with Grampian bimodal magmatism is consistent with production of the Barrovian metamorphic series within the middle crust as the result of advection of heat from the lower crust and/or mantle. The Barrovian metamorphic series - the classic example of 'orogenic regional metamorphism' - did not form in response to crustal thickening and thermal relaxation, but appears to record large-scale contact metamorphism.
