N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

County not stated. Argyllshire, SW of Inveraray, NM9601? or boundary of Argyllshire, W Perthshire & Mid-Perthshire, SW of Tyndrum, NN2626? Ewing has specimens which specify the latter, though of different years

This topic has been the subject of a previous post.

The pick list for this name is a nightmare! Some location have been generated by uploading Manchester or Perth specimen data from an external source (no images). Below is a list of the locations which have grid references (some clearly in error) AND specimens:

VC/name/grid ref./no. of specimens

VC87,VC88 Mid-West Perthshire Beinn Laoigh NN2824 10
VC88 Mid Perthshire Beinn Laoigh NN2626 21
VC98 Argyllshire Beinn Laoigh NN2527 7
VC88 Mid Perthshire Ben Laoigh [Ben Lui] NN2626 123
---------------------------------------------------------------------
VC87 West Perthshire Beinn Laoigh NM9601 (approx) 11
VC98 Argyllshire Beinn Laoigh [Ben Lui] NM9601 10
VC88,VC98 Crianlarich (W of), Beinn Laoigh [Ben Laoigh] NM9601 1

Beinn Laoigh/Ben Lui
(the former from older maps, the latter on the 1950/60s map, both on the current OS) a major peak, summit 1130m (3708ft) at NN265264, is a three-VC point for VC87 West Perthshire/VC88 Mid Perthshire/VC98 Argyllshire. The slight variations in the grid references accommodate the three different VCs quoted by collectors. It stands at ~12km W of Crianlarich (NN3825).

The more westerly Beinn Laoigh, 435m (1421ft) VC98 Argyllshire, NM9601, seems an unlikely collection site, especially when a height of over 2000ft is quoted. The adjacent Loch Fyne and Loch Awe can muster only a dozen specimens in total.
