N2 - This paper reports the presence and geochemical characteristics of seven separate tephras in Scotland that fell in AD 1510, and about 450 BP, 2100 BP, 3600 BP, 3820 BP, 5600 BP and around 6000 BP. The results come from 14 peat bogs spread throughout the Highlands and Islands where 26 tephra deposits have been characterized using electron-probe micro-analysis. Firstly, tephras are identified and defined by major element characteristics at a reference site. Secondly, tephras are linked between sites on the basis of geochemistry, and dated, informal names, based on British sites, are suggested for tephras not yet linked to precise sources in Iceland. -from Authors
