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.

System won't accept date; location looks like Loch Linnhe?

[Roger Horton]

The system will not like the date for Mrs H Dixon (the wife of another Mr Dixon) as she had been dead for 14 years. The other H Dixon is most likely Hugh Neville Dixon 's older brother Harold Goodman Dixon. This date the Dixons were in Ballachulish. Traveling north from there to Fort William would take them along the shores of Loch Linnhe OS NN06.
