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.

I couldn't read the collector's or site names; if 5 miles above Glasgow, then presumably Lanarkshire

Further search for definite info very unsuccessful, all roads seem to lead to Bishopbriggs. 'Bishopbriggs Golf Club, was founded in 1906 and is situated in parkland which was once part of Kenmure House (built 1806 by David Hamilton, demolished 1955)' this seems to be several miles from Glasgow, though on the R Kelvin, not Clyde. Does 'Clydeside' mean the river, or is it a name for the Glasgow area?
