Pinkish granitic intrusions into grey Dalradian metasediment at Glen Tilt in Perthshire, Scotland. Hutton’s observation of these phenomena in
1785 supported his ideas that the interior of the Earth was hot and that igneous rocks were the product of molten magmas associated with
this heat and could, under circumstances of immense pressure, intrude into older rocks.
