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.

The Loch of Drum is/was near Drumoak west of Aberdeen; a record of Drumoak in http://www.scottish-places.info/parishes/parhistory389.html gives: 'Towards the SW the shallow, weedy Loch of Drum (6 x 21/3 furl.) lies at an altitude of 225 feet'. The map on the Drumoak chapter of: http://www.oldroadsofscotland.com/miscmedaberdeen.htm#drumoak shows the Loch of Drum on the Bo Burn between Drumoak and Crathes, off the Aberdeen-Banchory road; but of the Loch there only remains on the modern map a marsh called 'Loch of Park' at NO767988, just in Kincardineshire

If you use the time-scale slider in cucaera you can watch the loch appear and disappear!
