== == Schists are abundant in the Precambrian (Archeozoic and Proterozoic) rocks. Schists are usually the product of regional metamorphism of existing rock, usually sedimentary, but sometimes of fine grained igneous rock. Schist could therefore be found where eroded mountains reveal the rock, or in areas of glacial deposition of eroded schist.

∙ 15y agoSchist is widely found throughout the central Highlands of Scotland. North of the Highland Line and west of the Moine Thrust, it is basically the 'default rock', though interrupted here and there by outcrops of quartzite, granite, and volcanic rocks.
Mountains formed of schist rocks include Ben Lui, the Cobbler, Ben Lawers, and the Five Sisters of Kintail.
