An exception to this F1 fold pattern is found farther south-east in the gorge section of the River Ythan, east of Fyvie where lithologically similar Southern Highland Group mixed arenites and schistose semipelites, have been metamorphosed under lower amphibolite facies conditions to give cordierite and andalusite.

These hills are underlain by dominantly pelitic and semipelitic turbiditic units of the Macduff Formation (Southern Highland Group), termed the Hill of Foudland Pelite Member, and have an outcrop width of 1 to 2.5 &amp;amp;nbsp;km. The bulk of this pelitic unit has been hornfelsed by the Insch Pluton with ‘spotted slates’ typically developed. The ‘spots’ are mostly porphyroblasts of chlorite after biotite. Cordierite, andalusite and fibrolitic sillimanite are also present in the inner parts of the metamorphic aureole. The dominant structure in these pelitic rocks is normally a steep slaty S1 cleavage. Bedding is only seen locally and typically lies subparallel to the cleavage. It is difficult to recognise any small- and medium-scale F1 fold structures in these fine-grained slaty rocks but cleavage-bedding relationships do imply that they may be present in parts (see below for details). A second deformation phase, D2, is superimposed on rocks of the ‘Slate Hills’, overprinting the metamorphic aureole of the Insch Pluton (Fettes, 1970)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Fettes 1970&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ‘Slate Hills’ lie along the northern flank of the Insch Pluton and stretch from Hill of Kirkney [NJ 502 315] in the west, via Wishach Hill and Hill of Foudland, to Hill of Tillymorgan [NJ 652 348] in the east. These hills are underlain by dominantly pelitic and semipelitic turbiditic units of the Macduff Formation (Southern Highland Group), termed the Hill of Foudland Pelite Member, and have an outcrop width of 1 to 2.5 &amp;amp;nbsp;km. The bulk of this pelitic unit has been hornfelsed by the Insch Pluton with ‘spotted slates’ typically developed. The ‘spots’ are mostly porphyroblasts of chlorite after biotite. Cordierite, andalusite and fibrolitic sillimanite are also present in the inner parts of the metamorphic aureole. The dominant structure in these pelitic rocks is normally a steep slaty S1 cleavage.
