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.

This specimen corresponds with the lectotype for the species given in BSBI Handbook 14; however I couldn't find Glen Eis na Verach / Gleann Easan Biorach on the map - presumably off Glen Catacol, Clyde Islands

[oldnick]

Parallel to Glen Catacol, one of the glens running down to Lochraza NR9448

Yes, Gleann Easan Biorach runs S from NR9449 for over 3km which would include the Allt Easan Biorach Sorbus arranensis sites at NR953474 and NR952467 given in Watsonia 26 : 9–14 (2006) [pdf].
