Comment to paper: Timing of magmatism and metamorphism in the Gruinard Bay area of the Lewisian gneiss complex: comparison with the Assynt Terrane and implications for terrane accretion by G.J. Love, P.D. Kinny and C.R.L. Friend (Contr Mineral Petrol (2004) 146:620–636)

The article comments on the paper "Timing of Magmatism and Metamorphism in the Gruinard Bay Area of the Lewisian Gneiss Complex: Comparisons with the Assynt Terrane and Implications for Terrane Accretion" by C. R. L. Friend, P. D. Kinny and G. J. Glove. According to the author, the paper expands the readers' understanding of the geological relations in the Complex at Badcall Bay, Lochinver and Gruinard Bay in Northern Scotland. The paper also presents new insights on the systematics of zircon in high-grade rocks, however, it also contains some dubious interpretations that ignore or misrepresents available evidence.
