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.

Perhaps 'Knock Dhu' or 'Knockdee' which I found in several places - though not Caithness! Davison has several specimens that month from the Wick area, where apparently there have been many water-mills, also reservoir dams eg on Loch Watten
