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 identify this site. Also Shoolbred's other collections from around this date are from West Sutherland, not West Inverness. The handwriting, particularly at right, I couldn't help thinking is like T F Mott's???

This came round as partially completed. I have edited.

Data from web show that 'Hieracium shoolbredii E.S. Marshall' was collected by Shoolbred and Marshall on "Sgor na h' Inisse" VC97 (which other records have as 'Sgurr na Innse', now mapped as Sgurr Innse, OS NN290748, 809m) on 18 July 1896, and 'Ex herb. EF & WR Linton', Shoolbred having been there in 1891. This label suggests he was back in 1897!

And I now notice that since Nick's comment two examples of Sgurr na h' Insse have entered the database.
