The '''Reston Group''' is a Silurian to Devonian lithostratigraphic group (a sequence of rock strata) in the Southern Uplands terrane of southern Scotland and northernmost England. The name is derived from Reston in the Scottish Borders. The rocks of the Reston Group have also previously been referred to as 'Lower Old Red Sandstone and Lavas'<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bgs.ac.uk/Lexicon/lexicon.cfm?pub=REST |title=Reston Group |work=The BGS Lexicon of Named Rock Units |publisher=British Geological Survey |accessdate=August 8, 2016}}</ref>
