Abstract
Zircon textures, chemistry and microstructures have been characterized <i>in situ</i> within Carboniferous sandstones from the Midland Valley of Scotland using back-scattered electron and cathodoluminescence images, electron backscatter diffraction techniques and chemical analyses. The study of polished thin sections reveals a variety of zircon types including unmodified detrital zircon, zircon outgrowths and different forms of modified zircon that formed in low-temperature conditions within the sedimentary rocks. These rocks have only experienced temperatures of <100
