Provenance of the Highland Border Complex: constraints on Laurentian marginaccretion in the Scottish Caledonides

Contrasting tectonic models for the Highland Border Complex in the Scottish Caledonides view it either as part of the rifted Laurentian margin of the Iapetus Ocean or as an oceanic terrane.
