1950 Sutton & Watson in Q. Jrnl. Geol. Soc. 106 243 In the following pages the Lewisian is..regarded as belonging to two metamorphic complexes, the first, or Scourian, being older and the second, or Laxfordian, younger than the dolerite dykes. These names are taken from localities in Sutherland where the relations of the two complexes are particularly clearly displayed.

1959 Nature 5 Dec. 1793/1 Three samples came from the Outer Hebrides, three from the Laxfordian, and two from the Scourian.

1969 G. M. Bennison & A. E. Wright Geol. Hist. Brit. Isles iii. 44 On the Outer Isles the Laxfordian orogeny is dominant, much of Harris and Lewis being composed of a migmatite complex of Laxfordian age.
