这第4版的苏格兰地质学是由阿伯丁大学地质和石油地质系的奈杰尔特雷温博士编辑的。这本书比上一版有了很大的扩展，有34位作者贡献了20章。
采用了一种新的格式，以提供对苏格兰地质的不同视角。简要介绍之后是一章概述了一些重要的历史方面，在19世纪放置苏格兰地质学家在一个新的科学前沿。
苏格兰是由一些最后结合在大约4.1亿年前的大致现在的位置。因此，每一个高地的地质都被描述到合并的时候，提供了关于南部高地、米德兰山谷、北方高地、格兰扁和赫布里底高地的章节。本节最后简要综述了导致各派别合并为目前格局的事件。
在描述老红砂岩、石炭系、三叠系、侏罗系、白垩系、第三系和第四纪地层时，沿用了传统的做法。另有一章介绍第三纪火成岩。试图讲述苏格兰地质演变的故事，而不是对所有地区和地层进行分类。优先考虑陆上地质，鼓励读者进入现场，参观一些在苏格兰展出的世界级地质。这些章节是广泛的基础上，试图整合沉积和火成岩的历史，并总结在古地理和古环境的变化。
经济方面的内容包括金属矿物、大宗资源、煤炭和碳氢化合物等章节。一个新的出发点是环境地质学和可持续性方面的一章。
此外，该出版物还包含32个板块的彩色部分，说明了苏格兰地质学的各个方面，以及苏格兰的彩色地质图。
This 4th edition of The Geology of Scotland is edited by Dr Nigel Trewin of the Department of Geology and Petroleum Geology at the University of Aberdeen. The volume is greatly expanded from the previous edition with 34 authors contributing to 20 chapters.
A new format has been adopted to provide a different perspective on the geology of Scotland. A brief Introduction is followed by a chapter outlining some of the important historical aspects that in the 19th century placed Scottish geologists at the forefront of a new science.
Scotland is constructed from a number of terranes that finally combined in roughly their present positions prior to about 410 million years ago. Thus the geology of each terrane is described up to the time of amalgamation, providing chapters on the Southern Uplands, Midland Valley, Northern Highland, Grampian and Hebridean terranes. At the end of this section, a brief synthesis summarizes the events that resulted in the amalgamation of the various terranes into the present configuration.
Traditional practice is followed in the description of the Old Red Sandstone, Carboniferous, Permo-Trias, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary strata. A separate chapter covers Tertiary igneous rocks. An attempt is made to tell the story of the geological evolution of Scotland, rather than catalogue all areas and formations. Priority is given to the onshore geology, encouraging the reader to go into the field and visit some of the world-class geology on show in Scotland. The chapters are broadly-based, attempting to integrate the sedimentary and igneous histories, and summarize changes in palaeogeography and palaeoenvironments.
Economic aspects are covered with chapters on Metalliferous Minerals, Bulk Resources, Coal and Hydrocarbons. A new departure is a chapter on aspects of Environmental Geology and sustainability.
Additionally, this publication contains a colour section of 32 plates, illustrating aspects of Scottish Geology, as well as a coloured geological map of Scotland.
