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.

Dunrossnes - seems to be area of Spiggie, see lower label on same sheet, hence grid ref HU3617. However on sheet http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/392918/ the grid ref has been reckoned as HU395150, the 'Dunrossness Industrial Estate' over to the east.

Dunrossness appears on the old OS map in hectad HU31.

Wikipedia, however, describes it as the southernmost parish of Shetland, and also says "Dunrossness has usually referred to the area on the Shetland mainland south of Quarff", which far exceeds the hectad.

Thanks, that's very clear! In other words, Spiggie is a place in Dunrossness
