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 style of printed sheet is Mrs F S Bennett's. It is clearly labelled 'Ravelry Bog, Forfar' which I can't locate, and which would seem to exclude Ravelrig Bog, Midlothian? I can't find any other specimens with a definite link.

Judging by the date it's an ex herb Andrew Kerr of Montrose specimen.

I agree; Mrs Bennett has a number of Kerr specimens; amongst other Scottish collectors of around that era - some on sheets carrying her name; these printed sheets are distinctive as reminiscent of the 'Hayes/Bloxam style', and her own collections are mostly from Cheshire.
