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.

Presumably near Lochan nan Cat on Ben Lawers. J H Balfour has other specimens from Ben Lawers, same date - his handwriting?

h@h has about a dozen specimens from Perthshire in the 4 weeks around this early date. One of them was collected by Dr Graham, who I presume was the discoverer of the C saxatilis hybrid C x grahamii : http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/400158/ If this dozen and others are anonymous sheets of his, then sadly he is under-represented in the results of h@h searches.
